Hi Derek,

Once again, thanks for the detailed explanation of the cause of the problem, and
the iffered solution. I've been working
for the past two days trying to get the solution you propose working, but
without success. The RText lines still have
the gray background.

I've included the pertinent section of the code, (at the end of this e-mail)
hoping that you might spot the problem.

The pertient lines are flagged by  the following;      
                                           -- 02/20     <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<    
for easier identifcation.

Thanks for the help.

Regards, Jim
