Asking questions is fine, but it needs to be tempered with my figuring things out on my own as well. Every post was sparking more questions and I realized it was time for me to slow down and think about things more. I don't want to become one of those people who expect the people here to answer every last thing for them.

You give good advice. I'm going to take it and get some coding done. I've spent more time posting than coding today, I think. So I'm going to close this window so I stop running back here every time I hear Cathy's voice. < grin >

Thanks again for all your help. Off I go to make this thing work, perfect or not.
