Although no one has as yet pointed out my mistake in Grammer, I thought I better correct it here before someone else does,

"Due to the large number of screenshots, I have had to begin a new thread. I am not "due" to a large number of screenshots. It should read: Due to the large number of screenshots, a new thread has been created by me. Or better still: Due to the large number of screenshots, the creation of a new thread was necessary.

When something is "due to something else it is always one noun that is "due" to another noun--not a person!

I would love to go on, but...

Mike ;-)

Mike, this is not a criticism, but just a reminder for some who may not know it is there and who still use IE. http://www.iespell.com If a person remembers to use it, it actually works fairly well for the spelling. Can't help with the grammar though ;-)

Hi Robert,
Of course there is no criticism that comes from you, just helpful advice; unfortunately, I have already got that wonderful little program. It must have been a typo error as i have known for years that grammar is spelled that way.

Mike :D
