Sir, It is quite clear that I (may have) offended you. That was certainly NOT my intention. As regards my "miserable bleatings"... I confess that i tend to be verbose, but this comes from years of beta testing and assisting newbies. I prefer to err on the side of "excess detail".
The bottom line is that i AM satisfied that you have pointed me to a solution, and that it works. I regret that you took offense, and offer my sincere apologies.... I wish you a vey good weekend. wiith cordial and RESPECTFUL greetings from Montreal, Canada. THANK YOU for your help. End of discussion.
