Surely, someone you work with knows how to do that. It's not really possible to teach this over the internet.  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 06-05-2007 08:08 PM                     Sorry Brenda, but there is no way you can possibly learn these sort of beginner basics from a discussion thread here. You are going to HAVE to have someone with at least a little bit of knowledge do a minimum of training before you will be able to learn more advanced things over the internet.  |  IP: Logged
