Hi mackrackit,

Seems obvious now.
That's because your'e clever. Hopefully I'll say that one day.

I've just posted a reply to Henrik on the VB thread (link below).

In a nutshell, the VB program is reading and displaying Random Bytes a treat now Apparently though birds fly in and out of nest boxes a lot more the 255 times a day when they're feeding young (It'll be interesting to see just how many) so a Word is needed as a counter, so half way there now then.
