Hi Paul, All, I was reading through a vast amounts of info last night on NS7. There are isssues, but nothing I could readily identify directly to the applet not working. I think I'll spend more time at the Java Sun web site since it appears this is going to be on their end. The console isn't showing any errors. I think the applet is failing to complete. It looks to be a bug in NS7 since all other browsers so far can run the applet. Also, the browser is showing the applet is started (just not drawn). On a side note, there is an interesting and applicable new tool in NS7. It's a Forms Manager to save and fill in forms. Say once you've input a coil into Fantc and want to save the inputs for later use, simply go to the forms manager and click Save Form Info. It will save the data in editable fields by url and form name. Thus, open Fantc, and click Fill In Form. It shows the inputs you can edit ahead of time if wanted, then click OK. Your coil data pops right into the form. Pretty cool indeed! Only one thing, it's limited to one data set per form. Still, a nice tool. I need to send them my kudo's and request muliple data sets per form. That would just add frosting to the cake! Take care, Bart Paul wrote: >Thanks for the timings Bert.
