Tim, I appreciate both your humor and the help! I mean that. I tried the run thing and it worked great too. Go figure. I wonder if it is because, in my ignorant haste, I changed the typing in the "start in" box. I'll go find out what it used to say and try it again. I sure appreciate that tip about using "run" as I was going crazy doing it the other way! You computer angels are wonderful, truly wonderful. With sincere gratitude and a bizzillion karma points, Michael
