Hi Dave, <smile> OK, great! I'll experiment later today. Yes, you're right about having a system that works. It is a better platform from which to work, especially if you're like me. I have to see something before I can understand what it is and how it should work. BTW, you don't need to call me Ms. Parsons. That makes me feel old, and anything that makes me feel old is not a good thing. I'm turning fifty next year, and the prospect is daunting! My name's Ann. Ann P. -- Ann K.
