Re: Still having a problem with windowed subfile

Actually it appears that I did not have the KEEP turned on for the DDS so 
each pass it was losing the info.....I had tried writing out the existing 
data before and that did not make any difference...I saw where you were 
going and I agreed....but so far it appears the problem had nothing to do 
with the program, it was all DDS related.


This will be one lesson I won't forget soon.

If you bought it, it was hauled by a truck - somewhere, sometime.
