Welcome to Yotatech. Just to help you out in the future, it's generally asked that you don't start multiple identical threads in different sections here. That just clutters things up. You've gotten answers on your other one... chances are, people that are seeing one of your threads are going to see the other (I think most people use the "new posts" link... which will bring up both of your posts.) People will not post their answers on both your threads.
