I must have missed something the first time I tried. This time it worked the first time I tried it. I guess I must have have one of those not so bright moments the first time I tried. Maybe it was late at night.
Thank you VERY VERY much. Since I already tried this and failed, it would have taken me forever to figure this out on my own. You saved me a LOT of time. Enjoy and good luck with your endeavors!
