Boy, am I stupid or what? I read you message again ( several times) after I posted to
you.

Then I started from the beginning rather than try to fix the example code.

Worked like a champ. No problems at all!

I think I can safely say that my main problem was working with class before I knew
what class was!

You words have put me on the path, Thanks much.


Warmest Regards, Joe
