Aaah Jon, your right about updating the page on the HD (apparently not being able to access the server from the page on stockclub WAS a server problem yesterday.) Apparently when when I was choosing "save target as..." the help.htm and order.htm files were saving properly in a folder on the HD, but when I tried to save the se.htm it was not asking me WHERE to save the file (it just saved it, which i thought was odd...and it did this repeatedly.) It was saving se.htm to an OLD folder, so I was using an old version of se.htm. Sorry about the confusion... working now ! Paul

Eureka! I think I have stumbled onto the problem people have been having with SE lately! Check the properties of the files saved via Jon's "Save Target As.." procedure in the help screen loaded from stockclub. You will probably find a tilda "~" in the DOS file name field. If you can make this go away (see my procedure below) SE will work from your hard disks again. My procedure: improvements welcome! 1) load Jon's HTML/Javascript from stockclub.com 1a) File ... Save As from browser for SE.HTM 1b) right click on order frame 2) View ... View source (causes NOTEPAD window popup) 3) FILE ... Save As (be careful to save as .HTM not .TXT!) 4) Repeat 1b-3 for SE_HELP.HTM frame 5) launch Super_Express from your hard drive. 6) Tell me where that gosh darn tilda came from. <g> Seriously, I would appreciate elucidation as to where the ~ came from and how to get rid of it via more of a rename-type operation. Enjoy, Paul

Jon, I'm wondering if you've updated SE to use servers 16 & 17, or plan to. I've gone back to the Datek interface because I found these servers to fail less often than 7. I do miss the ability to set up 5 orders for rapid fire entry with Super Express, however. Your post on the Datek thread about your software programs prompted me to ask. And don't even think about including yourself among those who shamelessly promote their products. Not only is your Super Express interface free, but you started a thread to discuss these type of products more privately. Esteban
