Not to mention misleading others and thus causing more = of a support burden for the folks who know what they are doing. Being a clueless admin is not something to be proud of, we already have way too many of them. You have already shown yourself a bit smarter than the average because you asked for help instead of just trying bandaid after bandaid until stumbling over some kludge that kind of worked. Don't fuck that up by copping an attitude that = ignorance is bliss. >Thanks for your input though. > "input" implies something that you have a choice of accepting or not, I really don't care for such politically correct terminology. "help" is a far better word, here. What you got was help that you really = needed to have before you started screwing around with something that is over your = head. If you don't want to be labeled a horses-ass, you don't have a choice on whether to learn from instruction, or not. I hope you don't want to be a horses-ass. Ted
