replies: text: That was on the assumption that the problem was in the logging tab, and that wrapping all calls to Subitems into a Property with error handling would cause any errors to show up as a messagebox rather than a runtime error. Assumption may of course have been incorrect; problem might be elsewhere in the code. --kingboyk 20:11, 15 April 2007 (UTC)
