Wow, thanks.  I can't believe I made this mistake.  This group is 
sooooooo helpful.  I could probably have looked at this another 10 hours 
and not seen this.  Thanks again.

Also, I'd like to apologize for the double post.  I posted the first 
with an email address different from the one I subscribed to the list 
with and I thought it wouldn't be accepted, so posted the second with 
the "correct" email address.  Surprisingly, they both posted!  Not sure 
how this happened.
