Hello I would like to thank you all for the help you have provided , I now have a little better understanding of what may have happend, I forwarded your response to the gentleman who had the problem and he has decided not to dig any further, I know you think i jumped the gun on the possibility of being hacked (yes nick i am referring to you) but I am always suspicious and even though i didnt present evidence as you suggested it really looked fishy to me. If you had seen the file contents, and been in there that nite as I was it would be a moot point, unfortunately i dont have access to the file as he has decided not to persue the matter. I cant send it to those of you who offered to look at it, but really appreciate the offers of help. I really find the idea of crosslinked files interesting and after reading all your posts think that this was a definite possibility. I also think it would be wise for him to investigate it further to rule out foul play. I thank you all again for your help Sincerely Matthew S Barnes --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
