I normally don't attempt to answer his questions anymore, because it's a waste of time. The only way to do it is to write his code for him -- as I recently did, more or less, for his menu questions. But the error he was making was so elementary that I thought that perhaps he might be able to follow a detailed explanation. I was wrong, or perhaps he just doesn't care. This guy has been on these lists for several years asking the same questions over and over. We'll let you answer them for awhile.

Careful how you quote things Maarten.
The way you originally quoted that made it look like Terry replied with

>>> Been there and been trying for ... years ... literally.
>>> It's why I don't even bother to reply to Brian's requests any more.

when in fact it was me. (it should be more like below)

I replied to your email, not Brian's, and I did not patronize anyone.
I just said that Charles, myself and numerous others have tried to
help Brian out before and that now I simply refrain.
