Thanks David,
I noticed that it showed up in the list twice as well, but thought that it was
a result of my testing the lab before pushing it through the add-ons lab
update. I've tried a couple of things, but the issue remains. I'm not sure what
is going on with it at this point, but I have contacted Chris for his insights
and hope to get it cleaned up as soon as possible.
Cheers, bob
