Bob,
I greatly respect your inputs to this forum. You are continually very
helpful.
Your sentiments are well meant:
It is important that the OP provide as much information as is needed.
But your response sounds a little harsh (I don't think you meant it that
way), especially since the OP is a newby and hasn't learned the ins & outs
of coding and asking for help.
Newby's are still struggling with spelling out what they need and how to get
there...
This is an issue that comes up most times when I am building an application
for most people.
It is usually the hardest part and takes a lot of patience.
have a good!
