I don't understand exactly how this forum works in terms of who replies to an issue and when. For example, I started a thread 2 nights ago I think and some code was supplied to me yesterday that looks like what I need; however, it does not work. So I posted a reply with some example code and described the error I am getting. What I don't understand is whether I should have started a new thread because the person that responded to me before may not be on-line today. Furthermore, this is a new problem is some respects and a continuation also. I am concerned that since this latest post is 5 levels deep that no one (who might know the answer) will ever see it.
