Thanks Ed,
Worked like a charm...
I am now getting another error which i presume to be a function within the
..LIB itself.
"Error:  Error: 'D:\CFITSIO\CFITSIODLL_2470_LATEST\CFITSIO.LIB' contains
invalid OMF record, type 0x21"
If i cant get around it i will contact the cftsio people about it if i can.
Thanks again
