Got it. Sure sounded to me like he was "in charge", didn't it? He can still get behind it though, instead of challenging everyone with "well why in the world would you want to do that?"
I really didn't want to make this about personality, but I do recognize terminal ideology when I see it. Case in point... I used to have a tech that worked for me that often said..."well I never saw that before" saying the technology wasn't possible. Sure he didn't, until he worked in my lab. That's what we did. We invented solutions that didn't exist. Then, to keep his job he had to get behind it. So he did. Thirty-eight months later we had developed 37 new products. Life ain't about getting in the way. It's about solving problems. And of the 50 or so posts in this thread, Zac comprised 20 or more - all negative. And here I am, looking around for help. If I wanted commentary on why you can't or shouldn't, I'd call my old tech. Twenty-five months of BS - all of which I had to read through just to learn there isn't any way to auto bcc. So this is a User Support Forum? This is support? Thanks for your guidance, dave... ------------------------------------------------------- "Everything will be alright in the end.
