I tried all that I was told to do, and at least I ended up with a different error message :) Just to avoid confusion, I am in the process of removing ALL references to Sword and Bibletime, and I am going to re-download the CVS's of both of them, then I'll either get back with you with a success story :), or we'll proceed from there :) You'll be hearing from me in a few hours :) Steven P.
