<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=016200701-19022009><FONT face=Arial
color=#0000ff size=2>I am guessing you are referring to AutoCAD
Background files that you use to get the building geometry input. And, one
crude way to get rid of these files is to change the location of referenced
Autocad files and try opening the equest file, and message will pop up
asking for the reference files, with in the options you will also see "remove
all backgrounds". this should do it. Once the file is opened,
save and close it. and next time around the equest file will load
faster. </FONT></SPAN></DIV>
