yes, thanks for your help indeed! :^) as i muddled around with this a bit more...i figured it out. :^/

Looks like I could use the help! :^) (my apologies in advance if you go looking for the page i previously posted and it's no longer there. i was going to have it up to facilitate this discussion but now, with problem solved, i may remove it.)
