Fore some reason, when you try       to help someone, you sometimes forget that everyone's system is not       setup exactly like your own. If you would consider it a friendly       reminder instead of criticism, life would be so much easier for everyone.              Carry on, Top Poster. :)              --       Todd Vargo       (Post questions to group only.
