Kris, Thanks for the information on sending an update to Salt Lake, and the other information you shared. I feel like starting all over since things seem a little messed up since I changed computers and put on the new PAF 3.0. I'm still learning how to use it, and don't know exactly where to start to submit it again. Also, I have to make some changes and I'm still learning how to do that. I should practice what I teach, which actually is taking most of my time. I just don't seem to get ahead of it! Of course, I'll still keep trying. Thanks again.
