After following this thread to late afternoon today, I would say that 
Denis's response was a bit strong and less than helpfull because the 
perceived insult drowns out the true meaning of his remark.

OTOH, _you_ are putting zero effort into understanding the error, 
something the others have encouraged, apparently several times now on at 
least 2 other venues.

This IS how one learns best, by seeing an error and taking an action that 
aleviates the error.  Handing the answer to you on a clean plate may fix 
the error, but your chances of understanding why it was fixed are 
perhaps 10% as good than the understanding in the future would be if you 
followed normal debugging proceedures and fixed it yourself.

If you aren't willing to put any effort into it yourself, then perhaps 
Denis does have the right idea.  Find another line of endeavor that 
_will_ pay the bills.

Cheers, Gene Heskett
