Johan,
I realize that it may be a little late now, but until you brought it to my

attention I didn't even know what top posting was let alone how to correct

it.  I do now and thanks for bringing it to my attention and thanks so
much 
for all you efforts in trying to solve my problem.  I viewed you web site 
and was certainly impressed.  This, obviously, became much more involved 
than what I had initially anticipated.
