No, I created a new job and run the gadget. I didn't see anywhere to define a tool?

No idea what happened but after uninstalling and reinstalling for the 6th time it now appears to be working ok. Thanks for looking!

You will get that error if you install a version meant for earlier than V10.

Yes I get that but that dialogue box never appeared. Problem solved now anyway. Adrian pointed out that I was loading a gadget that was not compliant with Ver 10! Thanks!
