Sorry for the multiple posts, but apparently when posting from the
Microsoft Discussion forum, my message got posted even though I
received an error indicating there was a failure posting the message
and I should try again later. So I tried again later, 7 times in
total, all "failed". So here's my 7 copies. Another quality
Microsoft product :-)
Let's try posting from Google this time and see how that works.
