Hi Matthias,
I appreciate the reply :)
I have an email to RunRev support to address this issue, so I'm waiting for
a response.
To know what makes a successful launch and what makes it fail.
I'm a purist in the sense that software should work as designed.
Meanwhile, I will check out Sean's library.

Regards,
Mark Stuart
