well, you have not posted back for some reason or other and while my biorhythm shows my intellect is still positive, i decided to go back thru this thread and see what has gone on. this post is where we have had "failure to communicate". you question of '3]', but seem to have failed to comment about having done '2]', which is a very crucial step in finding problem. see below.
