Kim, Several people have offered to walk you through things on list aht I've seen: 1. Brenda Mueller 2. ben blagg. 3. and who knows how many others? Have you been reading your mail? these same people can help with all this stuff, probably just not all at once. I think you need to organize yourself and do one or two tasks at a time. You seem like a kid in a candy store! <grin> Isaac
