    I have put together a bit of information on common problems and workarounds
    for people using Toolbox. This is posted on my website, in a zipped pdf
    file.

    www.frontiernet.net/~mlombard

    Go to the Rules of Thumb page, and it is the top link, More Toolbox.

    I'm open to positive or negative feedback on this, including any additional
    information you think might be useful in this document. To email me,
    remove the underscores from my address.

    Thanks,

    Matt Lombard

    Hey Matt,

    Yeah Dale, that was my first thought, but no joy.

    Here's the compleat error log:

    I don't know!
    Maybe, Dale, you could send it to me in the mean time.
    Change home to comcast in the address.
    TIA,

    Never mind Dale.

    I was able to open it from the website then open in Acrobat Reader from
    there.

    Go figure. Thanks anyway,
    Muggs

    I've had problems posting PDFs to my site recently, which is why I zipped
    this one up. Not sure what's going on with that.

    Quite a while ago I had router problems that caused this sort of thing. I
    reset the router and I think upgraded the firmware.
