Yes - I recognize that my decision to try to throw in a quick fix was the wrong one. My apologies. When you mention looking at more recent drivers - are you referencing the submission process, or something else? > > Also pay attention to the API design. I understand if I'm making a helper function, that helper function shouldn't change the API if it can be avoided. Hopefully the updates I suggested are the correct ones. Thanks again for the feedback. > > -- > With Best Regards, > Andy Shevchenko
