Hooray! We actually solved a problem on GroupStudy. ;-) And someone let us know. It's frustrating when someone asks for help and then never lets us know the resolution. This is supposed to be a GroupStudy, in other words a group learning experience, not a GroupFEEDmeTheAnswerSoIcanDoLessWork. (Sorry, a little cynical due to mean comments on another thread.)
Thanks for letting us know the resolution.
