The error message is telling me that GUID is not a valid parameter yet I have used it in the pass and it is in the Help files. I am hoping it is something silly that I am doing wrong. Your help is greatly appreciated. Manuel de Aguiar M|D Enterprises Los Angeles, CA -- Sent from my tablet. Please excuse my brevity.
