Thanks, I'll try working with it some more. But I can remember when the Windows help files were first developed - you could literally search for every instance in which a word of phrase was used. For example, if searching for "error 3260," why would you not be able to bring that up similar to a Google search? It just does not work that way with the help files apparently, so the result is you have to read through lots of stuff to find what you are looking for and then sometimes you don't find it.
