Hi Karsten, Having been using this list for more years than I care to think about I ought to know my manners better. It was a timely reminder, it's easy to take the help one gets here for granted. I don't tend to post so much nowadays with workloads etc, but it's the only list I stay subscribed to. I do on occasion sit with a beer on a boring evening and amble through the posts, and, occasionally, I note things with my setup that seem a bit off. Without wishing to tempt fate, my setup works well for me and works well. Often as not because of advice given in the past by list members; anyway, manners cost nothing and they do have a value for the recipients. All the best Nigel
