I think there is confusion here who is who!  I am the one who needed the 
help in the first place.  I was helped by a couple of you.  I am 
grateful to you for it.  I was able to uncheck the box and it does not 
prompt me each time, just as long as I don't check the remove passords. 
  Which I think is strange and maybe a security risk.  However, thanks 
agin for your help.
