Yep, it was in a template. I rebuilt them and it works fine. thanks all

My bad - correction - it works fine from the vbindex page but I get a file not found when I try it from the shout page. Where should I look?

Can I look over the templates? I might figure out the problem from there.

Thanks for the offer, but after very carefully going over the code, I found the the code listed in the instructions (that I copied and pasted) had an extra "/" that was hosing it.

to make sure you know. I will look over that code tomorrow.

Tnx Takahasi. :)
