Thanks Robert,  I was wondering about the slot placement. The rest of what you 
said is a little over my head, but with some study time and more questions, 
I'm sure I'll get sorted out OR I'll be paying Mark to fix it again 8-). AS I 
stated before I wish I had more free time, but then again I don't because that 
would mean I am unemployed and probably ina wheel chair talking funny.
