Jim (and others), I subscribe to technet through the "digest version" which converts attachments to embedded text that appears to be gobbledy-gook (nice technical word, eh?) on te M/S Outlook screen but FORTUNATELY cannot execute! Not only does this version of technet offer "some protection" but also condenses the many e-mails into one or two large ones. Try it, you'll like it! As for your appology: "Thanks for your input, I apologize for this not being TechNet related info." IMHO, this is technet related and we all can learn from it... An old Polish proverb (well, maybe not Polish, but who's gonna check): The only dumb question is the one that isn't asked. On that note, Good day all!
