I didn't have to take out that part of the append. I was just laying out my game plan. Should have been more clear on that. I didn't realize that after a resume has been performed, it no longer saves the data. I have since readded the append command and left it there, trying to see if my problem was a fluke or just doesn't work properly on my system. I will do more testing with it later. I had Windows flashbacks of getting stuck in endless loop of resuming if the system crashed for some reason, so I did that step out of haste. Sorry.
Thanks for clearing all this up for us...
