So until you do use a recent version of both (oh and don't forget how we're so badly 'gouging people' with the free code patches on our website to the main e-Tools program), well.. that suggestion wouldn't be polite, and I wouldn't want to upset Eric's Grandmother... I'll just say you need to see a doctor about having that Cranial-Rectal fission surgery sometime soon.Now I'm done.  Night all! <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
