Steve,
Nevermind...I figured it out on my own.

And John, I understand that this is a place for FREE help and I'm pretty
sure everyone else does as well. I'm the one that made the note regarding
outsourcing. Please keep the public downgrading off of my posts. I may not
be
a professional db programmer, but at least I act with some professional
ettiquette. (Which is far more important in the business world!)

Thanks again Steve!


The problem is that if we let steve's behaviour be tolerated, it gives
credibility to anyone else who wants to spam the newsgroups with ads and
self promotion. I have seen a number of non Microsoft newsgroups go down the
tubes because the amount of noise overwhelmed the real questions and an
answers. At that point, people started to stay away from the noise and
avoided posting questions in fear that they would be assaulted by offers.
The newsgroups then died.

Steve is not a newbie at this and has been warned many times over the years
about his behaviour, but he persists and occassionally it is necessary to
get out the wet newspaper and tap him on the nose. Unlike a puppy, there is
no chance that steve will be house broken, so the only purpose of the posts
are to remind others that steve's type of behaviour is not tolerated.

As to professionalism, I would remind you that if you choose to deal with
steve, caveat emptor.

John... Visio MVP
