Hi Ken,
Thanks for the explanation between cross and multiposting ... you know I
hear a lot of talk about multiposting being bad but I had never thought
to ask about it and crossposting before. And to be honest, I didn't
realize that it was more the "waste of time" factor that made people
frown upon it, I always thought that it was more that people didn't want
to see the same question over and over again. BTW, thanks to you and
Bob for the suggestions to my original problem before we got sidetracked
into cross/multiposting.
