Erel,
Thanks again, it was a library issue.
I am intending to purchase b4a 4.3 but I notice that java 7 is required for it to work.
I am not sure which java version I have. My folder is entitled entitled SDK1.7.0_40
It will save me some dowload time if it could be confirmed whether or not this version works with B4A 4.3,
Best wishes, John
