If you're going to spam us with your question that you figured out
yourself, the least you could do is put the info in your "NEVER MIND"
post so the next guy finds it in the archives.* ;)

*True, this assumes that the next guy will check the archives, first,
which is not always the case... ;)

Extremely good point, you are quite correct. I spotted a response
literally seconds after I had sent the "never mind" and so decided
to let that stand as the "solution", rather than add an additional
and redundant post.

I am a great believer in posting "Solved" endings to threads. I can't
count the number of times I have followed a thread that seemed to be
my exact problem only to have it stop, presumably because the poster
lost interest in posting once he got the thing going.

It would be nice if you could just search the archives for your
problem and "solved", to go straight to the solution, but somehow
that never works.

Can you share where you got this file from? I've been looking for
about 4 hours now, and I cannot seem to find it anywhere.
