Welcome Jim!
Glad that some answers have been found by you. There are a lot of helpful people on this forum so please don't hesitate asking questions. I have discovered that there are a lot of differing opinions and not too much "heat" between the parties involved. Mostly, everyone wants to get it right, and there is more than one right way to do almost everything:) .

Looking forward to having your input.

Welcome Jim. I also enjoy this board. I check it at least 5 or 6 times a week and was surprised at how willing everyone is to help someone with a question. There is a tremendous amount of knowledge out there that everyone is willing to share. All you have to do is ask.
