The module name it matches is the real directory name after translation by the modules file so you might be matching on the wrong name. I suspect ^ThirdParty$ will only match the ThirdParty directory and nothing below it, and you might want to remove the $ off the end (looks like a documentation error). If that still fails look at the traces as it's reasonably verbose & should tell you what's wrong. Tony
