    Hi IamAnonEmous! I have solved my problem. I t was very difficult. I can not stand these big ego MVP's that think just because they attended some school ; they know every thing. I wish I could share with you , but it is very involved. I really think Microsoft knows they have big problems, just to damn dumb or stubborn to admit it. I learned all I know while recovering from cancer and 6 months of chemo. Microsoft tried to keep me from posting here, but just like always, they have a **** of a lot to learn from this old cancer survivor. I really doubt that they really want to learn from me. I just want you to know my friend, you made this old man's day. God bless you sir! garybear!

    I suggest you ban this old cancer survivor and use the excuse that he is crazy. That should answer all the doubters and make you look responsible to the world . I'm always here to help and answer any questions that you might have. I really doubt that you want my help. You have big ego's and its  really hard to let them go. This problem is number one on Google, so go ahead and bury your head in the sand. I's not going away. I'm not stupid and I know very few will see this post, but my heart tells me to do it anyway. Just remember one person got prayer taken out of schools and oops there goes another rubber tree plant.
