Thanks all! I just read your posts... I'm putting the first part of my code but PLEASE realize, this is my first big (for me) program -- I'm a newbie, I know it is a little scattered and probably not commented like it should be... so grace and mercy would be appreciated, but so would some coding advice! NOT TOO MENTION my layout issue problem.
