That did it.  Thanks Noop, you never cease to amaze me what you pull out 
of your google hat.  If this isn't ready by 29 April and the dev's leave 
tb3 in the pipe it may be worth keeping a copy of your email handy.  
Your warnings are heeded.  I plan a rebuild on this system after the 
29th anyways.  Been plugging holes, this just stumped me.  Thanks again.
