Hi there Jacques,


Thanks for the great info.  My mistake i guess, in that i didnt
write the whole name of the message out, ie
  WM_CD
is short for
  WM_COPYDATA
which is a system defined message used to pass data between programs.

Make more sense now?

Sorry about that.
Hope you liked the calculator anyway 

Take care,
Al
