Hi Ron, Thanks for your input. I reviewed the process again and followed the directions (which I've typed out and posted next to both computers!) from you and Mike; worked out fine.
Thanks again, Lavern Hall BTW Ron, your emails to LUG always show up in my spam folder. Don't know why, have tried to correct the matter without results, so I check spam everyday and take your emails, indicate that they are not spam and move them to my inbox. If you aren't receiving responses to your posts, this could be why. :-) On Thu, Oct 16, 2014 at 8:27 PM, Ron Taylor <doit4...@yahoo.com> wrote: > Mike will probably answer this also.
