Ok works fine,  I went to the url you sent me and there was something 
wrong with what I typed, a space a capitol letter or something and I 
looked at it for a long time and could not figure out what I had done 
wrong.  I baisicly knew what to do but couldn't get it right. My hunt 
and peck typing creates errors and in this case I just couldn't see it
                         Thanks Doug
