    Hi

    I can't help you with your problem but you may consider reposting
    because you seem to have changed the subject line of an existing thread.

    Some people may, as a result, send it to trash because the thread is of
    no interest to them.

    Always, start a new message rather than highjack an existing post ;)

    Regards

    Clive
