Well, I don't really know for sure. To be honest, I don't have the time or inclination to set up an empty "device=" statement (or a statement that has one or more spaces after the equal sign) and explore the consequences. I ASSUME that windows would PROBABLY ignore it, but there is a slight possibility that it may try to execute (especially if there are spaces) the command. Which COULD result in the error Ian has reported. But as I said in my original message..... it was a wild guess.
