I'm suspicous of your catch. What if exceptions are being thrown? You should at least e.printStackTrace() to see what's happening, and open you applet's console window to check![/QB]
thank you
done it
yes your right about the catch, there is a bit of coding there, but i didnt put it since its not part of the question...
thanks again
