I admit, I was frustrated yesterday and I took it out on the forum. It just appears that with little effort on a post, I get the "best practices" post and with spending an hour putting every possible detail in place, I get the best practices post.Anyway, my appologies.
Been there myself too. No worries.
With some sample data it seems there are least 3 people willing to jump in and help.
