Bary, Agree completely. There's often so many variables and things that can go wrong that it's very difficult to explain how to do things via email. However, just knowing that you're not wasting time by trying is often valuable enough, and then if you're persistent enough and are told how it should work that's usually enough to get there in the end. So thanks once again! It now seems to be working consistently and I'm using it regularly so that's great.
