So....here I am with some more of my problem :( Sorry for the slow response to your last e-mails, I had to give up my xp machine and had to wait till I get a new one. We were also having trouble with our ISP (cox) for me to VPN from my home xp machine. Back to the real deal... I have decided not to assume anything and to take it step by step :) Craig..I have followed your advice and I am using 'people' instead of 'Computers'.
