Thankyou Markymark and sorry for getting it wrong. I feel a bit embarrassed now as I am a bit of a goody goody and don't like doing the wrong thing. I thought 'it' looked a bit odd but didn't know how to deal with it. I kind of hoped you would read it then take action, but I know Dave got in touch, ...
