Gregory;

I thank you for pointing this out to me. It solved the problem and helped reduce my stress level!!!

Perhaps I should not have worn a red sweater today! Whenever I wear this color my supervisor says, "Tom is wearing his mood sweater"! :)

Now I am off for a weeks vacation with a shorter list of things to worry about while on vacation and fewer things to do when I get back!

Thanks again.

Tom
