thanks
I will try the browser suggestions that you have provided - on running windows diagnostic it says' computer correctly configured but the device resources ( accs.apl.amazing charts.net is not responding )
did want to mention that
2 of my client computers do not connect to the main computer after version 8.3 was installed .
I get the following error message on one :
"warning 1946 property
(9 F4C2855-9F79-4B39-A8D0-E1D42DE1D5F3) 12' FOR SHORT CUT AMAZING UTILITIES.EXE.LNK COULD NOT BE SET.
on the other it simply says could not connect to database or file not found .
thanks
