Like the instructions at the top of the "additional catalogs" page? There are several errors in your proceedure here. For even more detail, the link in the first line above the instructions will take you to the specific section of the helpfile for this. You can get to the same section by clicking the help button once you get to the "magnitude" tab. > Sorry to be a pest. I've noticed that Patrick doesn't go out of his way to point out where the instructions are, but that's because they're usually in the most obvious places. -John __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
