Thanks Valerie You are one of the many kind souls that help out others all the time on this list. My point is that it would be so much easier and less time consuming it we could go on line and look up from our home computers these BMD Indexes. Since the work is already done, there should not be any real problem bringing this about. Sun is shining here today in Winnipeg as well.
