Okay, well, uh--the odds are the fault is mine somewhere. Maybe I set the filters wrong, or maybe it is the file that I couldn't get to open. Who knows? I will try to figure out what is going on. I usually let the person know if the file wouldn't open, so, to be honest, I don't know what is happening. To be very honest with all of you, I am going to try to work all of this out by November, and if I can't, I will not be able to cope with this obit offer thing any longer. With the computer problems, AOl problems, and now this, it has become a bit overwhelming for me. Please do not clutter the list with thank yous, etc.,email me offlist with your comments, complaints, whatever. I appreciate all of your kindness, but as someone once said, 'a man (woman in my case) has to know his limitations' and I may have found mine. Annie
