Simple solution for that stuff is to just kill the thread. If you want help, then use an informative subject line and just explain what is going wrong. When you post hysterical subject lines and it just goes downhill from there I don't even bother reading the messages. Nobody wants to see you suffer, but nobody around here is obligated to help either, so at least try to be nice about it... -- Rich
