Brent,
Not a problem. I voiced my opinion, and I'm happy now, at least until
the next time. <grin>
By the way, I am using a multi-zoned grid and the define zone button to
preview my changes. The only problem I had with that was a 'feature'
(only features, never bugs) that made my map not appear after going to
define zones several times. I think it was 3-5, I didn't keep track. But
at some point it would only show me the hex grid I was defining, not the
map graphic, then I'd have to restart to get things back to normal. And
as I'm not as skilled as some and had to make several changes to get
things to my liking I had to restart 3 or 4 times during the whole process.
