Thanks Derek and Mario for clearing up the adept issue. I thought I might be right on that but not knowledgable enough to argue the point. I still haven't gotten around to reading Mario's good links, Hurricane Ike issues keep stealing my time, but I will do it eventually and have kept the reference. This is one case where I've benefited from a thread continuing longer than need be.  Thanks again for you input.
