I have put together a bit of information on common problems and workarounds for people using Toolbox. This is posted on my website, in a zipped pdf file.
Go to the Rules of Thumb page, and it is the top link, More Toolbox.
I'm open to positive or negative feedback on this, including any additional information you think might be useful in this document. To email me, remove the underscores from my address.
Thanks,
Matt Lombard
Hey Matt,
Winzip gives me an error when I try to open it.

It worked ok for me this morning. Perhaps a corrupt download?
Yeah Dale, that was my first thought, but no joy.
Here's the compleat error log:

Maybe, Dale, you could send it to me in the mean time. Change home to comcast in the address. TIA, Muggs
Never mind Dale.
I was able to open it from the website then open in Acrobat Reader from there.
Go figure. Thanks anyway, Muggs

Ok, then. Nothing is in the mail, you should have it right away.
I've had problems posting PDFs to my site recently, which is why I zipped this one up. Not sure what's going on with that.
