Hi Jeff, Sorry about that, I've just mucked up. I think they call it the Monday blues or something. Well, what can I say but I should have looked at the subject line more closely. I've probably just made the dangerous assumption that the thread that Don Lisa and yourself are writing to were all one and the same and along with that, my mind has obviously disregarded some, more like most of the detail in the messages concerned.
