Bruce,
Thanks for your help, I was browsing and getting shut
down all over the place, I didn't know what was
happening, then I saw this question & reply, you saved me
loads of time and headaches and much hair pulling, which
XP has given me since this occurred, I'd buy you a drink
if I could Bruce, Thanks, it's good to see someone post
on here that's serious and helpful.
Thanks again!!!
