Oh - my - goodness! I would never in a million years have guessed that those were "boxes" between the entries, they are so narrow! They just look like separators to me, and the time I did check them, I thought the "text" balloon applied to the button next to it being a "text" box! I KNEW it was something basic; that's the parts that always byte me! <g>
Thanks much for your clear and concise explanation of the process. I saved it for the next time I forget, which isn't likely to be too soon, as embarassed as I feel.
