I am keeping my technical emails in a saved folder within the TBird 
program, but it is just huge with information.  Most of the emails have 
multiple helps within them.  I have been planning to organize those 
helps and create some kind of file that would help me get to the correct 
code of a reoccuring problem, however, I have been so busy solving so 
many different problems that have collected over the past couple of 
years, I haven't had time yet.  Right now, I spend several hours each 
day just answering the emails I receive.  But is that what you mean?  
When I am sure I understand your advice, I will take it.  Thanks for the 
help.  It bothers me a lot having so much done for me, that I know with 
a little instruction in a way that I can retain would reduce a great 
deal.  I am trying so hard that I seem alway to be in a state of stress.
