Timmy,

Thanks much for the reply.  I have almost no idea what you said, but it 
got me to try the code which I already wrote (which I didn't do before 
because I didn't think it would work, thought sure there was something 
missing).  The code I already wrote and left sitting there untested for 
a couple-three hours... it works!!

Well that's a completely new experience for me.  B^D
