[UK-CONTEST] [SPAM] Re: N1MM glitch

Glad you sorted it. These bugs are often transient as you have just 
found. The prog. is great and the team are A list, but of course it uses 
both Visual Basic and Access, both from those super people ( NOT) at 
Microsoft, so getting out, turning around three times and restarting the 
engine, is often the first remedy.

As you say I wouldn't get out of bed on contest day without ESM.

As others have said the prog. is in perpetual beta mode, but the support 
is so good, and reversion so easy that there's little point in being 
behind the game- well except before IOTA perhaps ;-)

Clive, for info, the problem was with any F key, using ESM (which I prefer) and the problem was persistent. Finally, I would just like to add that while I've only posted a few times I've been a member of this reflector for a couple of years or so and read the posts daily. It's a great place to pick up tips. Thanks again.
