Hi, thank you for responding. Phil also gave me your instructions earlier today, but I also tried again and still no luck. For whatever reason , I can't seem to get it to work. "Afraid" of shockwave is not the word I would use right now concerning my feelings toward that particular technology. But most likely it is me or my computer or whatever that is the problem.
thanks anyway for trying , allan Come to me and I will give you rest...
