Wow! Thank you for the tip. Yes, I did read your letter, along with a LOT of others.
I tried to answer them all, but I guess I missed you! Thank YOU! I don't know
if this will work, and as it's Xmas, I'll have to try it when I can sneak away from
the kids. I would be glad to send you this file, if you'll explain how to zip it!
I've never tried, but I'll try it on my own now, and read the help files! Merry
Christmas, Lenny!
