Thank you both for your response. Right after I posted this message, I
decided to reinstall WIN-98. That took care of the error. However, I now
have another error. I will post it as a new question with the subject being
"Runtime Error 403". If you have any input on that, I would appreciate it.

Thanks,
Les
