First, if I'm pissing anyone off by replying to Karl's post I
apologize, it just the one I clicked 'reply' on. Everyone here has
given me so many fixes, work arounds and other ways to fix this issue
that I get totally confused as to who said what, when. So if I went and
ran with Karl's idea but Xen posted it first Xen, I humbly apologize
for not using yours. 

Not to sound petty but I have way too many things going on in my life
right now such as possibly going blind than to worry about who's idea
to fix an issue I tried first. Again, I'm not intending to piss anyone
off and don't get me wrong, I appreciate all the replies and
suggestions.
