Right, Michael.  It was quiet a long time ago.  Before this current 
version I was running Horde3 when it first came out.  The horde package 
is so powerful that it has last all those years without any glitches.

I recently had problems because of a hard drive failure.  I'll check for 
updates more frequently now.

Thanks for the tip on the dimpcore object.  This was exactly what I was 
looking for.  The single pane works great!

Oh yea, the new features with Horde are really Great!  I especially like 
the ease of operation on the Android.

Thanks!
