So your current explanation is that you don't know what the OP was doing, or what might have happened, or what caused whatever it was that happened to happen, but you wanted to point out that it might have had something to do with environment variables, and that some other unknown thing might have had an unknown effect on them in some unknown way? Uh, OK. cheers, DaveK
