As I just wrote to Prins. I think I made a copy error on the dll. I'm 
looking at the sheet I wrote the msg on and it shows 26.dll
There is no 2.5 on my system. I removed it months ago.
True about the PATH, but having Python25 in it was wrong. It's now 27.  
Why 25 got put in there I do not know.

See my post to Prins above.
