rudy, You can resolve that address to http://209.237.72.223/ if you pick up a little tool called URLDiscombobulator. It's one of Karen Kenworthy's free Power Tools, all VB, and all with source code. The site is http://www.karenware.com (she was a column contributor for Winmag.com before it ceased operations). If you visit the site, look at some of her other tools - several are handy to have in a webber's tool box. Make a good day . . . . . . barn ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I think therefore I'm dangerous. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ _______________________________________ From: rudy [r937 at interlog.com] the url was http://60ed6a149814ol102l6era650l.cc/www-oislker58.com allwhois.com says Error: Invalid characters in Domain but it works
