Sorry, I'm answering the old thread, but I've just returned from vacation.

Kevin,

Perhaps ":)" was a little bit misleading, so I took it as a mockery. Well, let's think about it as a huge misunderstanding.

>I would suggest you read this WHOLE thread through. You posted a solution

I can read only the first 50 messages, which I just did.

which didn't work. Someone else posted one which did. I marked his thread as

Which one? I'm quite positive, that all my solutions were correct, if all typos would be fixed by you.

the answer to my question. Even though I had my question answered, you

Sergey's answer was not the easiest and cleanest solution...

CONTINUED to post solutions. I tried your SECOND one and also received an error. You sent me private posts begging me to relook at it. Even though I already had the answer and HAD THANKED EVERYONE INVOLVED for their help, you posted ANOTHER post. I tried that one and it STILL was giving me errors. Yes

Well, this is too bad, that I made a typo and typed 1 instead of two, but the solution works!!! and it's simpler, than anybody's else.

maybe I should have seen the error myself but my point is that I DID express appreciation for EVERYONE'S help and I DID mark the thread that originally answered my question. Was I supposed to mark ALL the threads that answered it?

You have an ability to mark post as a help (one star).

If so then I'm not aware that is the procedure. Cetin answered it later also

Please, re-read Points document carefully.

and I didn't mark his as answered because it had already been answered. But you don't see him berating me and calling me unappreciative do you??

Just try my solution again.
