Sorry.....Did I miss something? I was not making any sort of attack on your knowledge or information, and I'm sure that you could provide the list with quite a detailed synopsis of the situation. I was making a general comment about the 'willingness' of others to also help track down a problem (I think that the last count was 5 independent users with help for this particular inquiry) and the benefit it would have for others with issues in the same area. I'm sorry but I don't have anything as elaborate as a 'KILL LIST' that I can offer to add you to. Thank you for all your time. David Peterson.
