    What's your tolerance setting under Job Setup? Try increasing it.

    I haven't seen any issues like that, but I rarely use V7. I HATE the interface, and much prefer V6.

    I have messed around with V6 in the past and prefer it myself. I will try adjusting the tolerance when I get home tonight and see if that helps I'll let you know and thank you for the advice.
