Joao Paulo... Many thanks for the kind support.. I appreciate it. Oddly (or rather, let's make that "happily!"), the very first person on our MSN forum manager's staff that I asked for help today, IMMEDIATELY - without a moment's hesitation - said he'd be glad to help me! I cannot express to you my feelings of relief. It was as tho a thousand puond weight had been lifted off my shoulders! <BIG happy smile> Thanks again...
