The interview went very well. It's a much different job than I had before, because most of it is training, and I'll work on the writing whenever I have time.

The tooltip displays automatically, without clicking. You can set it to display immediately or after a short delay. The tooltip disappears automatically when you mouse to a different item on the screen. Would you like some screenshots? Lisa G. On 3/9/07, Brierley, Sean <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote
