Thanks for your help. I haven't tried your suggestions as yet. I have two computers
and the one I am working with now still has WIN98SE. I am not one for changes but
it seems that some software and hardware are not compatible to WIN98SE. That is
a bummer. I will let you know if this works.
Thanks
Nancy
