Hay Remy - that was simple :-)

Haven't had chance to test it fully as i'm at home at the minute (thus no 
proxy) but the error message has gone - suggesting it works.

The only reason why i doubled up on the quotation marks is because of the 
MSDN reference:

http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa383996.aspx

[sic]
To list a proxy for a specific protocol, the string must follow the format 
""<protocol><protocol>://<proxy_name>"". The valid protocols are HTTP, 
HTTPS, FTP, and Gopher. For example, to list an FTP proxy, a valid string 
would be ""ftp=ftp://ftp_proxy_name:21"", where ftp_proxy_name is the name 
of the FTP proxy and 21 is the port number that must be used to access the 
proxy. If the proxy uses the default port number for that protocol, the port 
number can be omitted. If a proxy name is listed by itself, it is used as 
the default proxy for any protocols that do not have a specific proxy 
specified. For example, ""http=http://http_proxy other"" would use 
http_proxy for any HTTP operations, while all other protocols would use 
other.

- all the examples have double quote marks...

Thanks anyway,

Mike C
