LOL! :^) :^). This is pretty much what I got out of it too, except that I thought I
remembered reading a thread article that said there is a definite bug and a work
around. For some strange reason, I still have this "you have to have at least this
many files" stuck in my head or something. I wonder how this could have happened?
(BIG GRIN!...just picking on you, Naomi! :^) :^)

Seriously, I'm just glad to know that it's a bug and how to avoid the thing! :^)

Best Regards,

Randall

asked me if I needed salt, and I said, "I'm not into encryption." :^)
