I understand that it makes it easier for you if I can describe better
the error I get, but by the time I ask for help here I have tried many
different things to get the error to go away.

I will try in the future to do better at this.  For now, I am just
putting that exercise behind me.  I do try to find out how to do
things before asking first.

I tried so many things last night, I had to go back to an old message
to get code that worked again.

Thanks
