Hi, thanks for the help. I finally did a cute red "X" next to it, and put my message in the tool tip. Not quite as nice visually, but, what the heck.

BTW, unfortunately, I'm not the same Tom Green as the TV-personality. Tom Green is far too common a name. The guys at our office here showed me a newpaper article about a Mormon named Tom Green in Salt Lake City with 14 wives. There is (was?) a Tom Green who was president of the Quebec Chefs association. There is even a Tom Green county in Texas (I wonder how many billions he has in oil wells?). The best one: I was once in a receiving line in college, and the guy just ahead of me introduced himself as Tom Green. Hmmm, what do I say now?

Ciao!
