Let me clear a few things up here, now. I have NOTHING agains tutorials! I just don't like using them. I do NOT consider myself a programming expert, I am not even good at it (I use Paint Shop Pro). I just have a hard time using tutorials (but I'll give Packard's a try!). I know they are a valued resource, and its a good thing they are there. I AM NOT putting down Packard's, yours, or anyone elses tutorials down. I want FREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEDOM!!!!! (just like William Wallace) Don't mind me. Just sit back and enjoy my signature. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= The Reaper (J.
