Thanks Walkermac - it now compiles. Now I just have to merge it with the rest of the monster and hopefully I can go back to xml feed
I have attached a file - look at module 2. It has the timer sub from which the beast fires. At preset intervals it gets updates and after the last download it runs an analytical package which tells me whether or not to bet. when i started it in 2001 I never thought it was going to be this big.

Thanks again for your help

Ta,
Martin

ps I will probably be back to beg more help.....
