Thanks  for the reply, MO.  I don't know if it's my Yahoo email or Topica, 
but  your response is the only one I've seen (my own didn't even show up in 
my  inbox).  And Gary's and Dodger's were the only responses I saw from my  
original post.  Just mentioning that in case there are other responses  that 
I'm not getting.

Anyway, I'll play around with it and will report  back what I find.

Thanks,

Dave
