>Perfect! Thanks for the info - shame the unistaller doesn't work as it should ;-)

The uninstaller uninstalls the application, and leaves your data behind.

If you then re-install, the installer checks to see if there is any data from a previous installation. If there is is DOESN"T OVERWITE IT to prevent destroying your old data, just in case you are upgrading.

You wouldn't want it to hose your existing data would you?

I think the installer/uninstaller works exactly as it should.

Good luck,
Barry.
