I tried that Desc. Rept route. One couple MRIN 455 gave me 20 warning messages ... it seems their grandkids intermarried, and then the great-grands, and then the great-greatgrands ... So I started at each of the grands, and then got warning on 12 consecutive MRINs ... I was hoping for something obvious that I was missing. Shame. :(
Thanks for the look-see and reassurance!
