Hi Roger,

That could be a drag <grin>.. Well, glad you found the problem.  Alternately,
if you ever decide to start up hobby selling motocycle parts ... <vbg>

That reminds me of a few companies that somehow got our company's information,
Invisible Light Software, somehow tied to wire fencing products.. so every year
in our postal mail we get at least one, sometimes more, catalogs related to
fencing products <g>. How they got that out of a software company is beyond me.
At least no one has called here to order any fencing though.

That would make sense.

I guess :)   Well, being pretty much die-hard democrats we didn't appreciate
Gingrich people's calls- so we just let the answering machine take the calls
and delete them now.

Take care,
Janis
