  11. Thanks guys....the only one i understand is the nail or staple idea! a large spike and sledge hammer is what i need. When i post (and its not a large file) it bogs down and doesn't want to flow or "send" and takes forever. almost like it times out, sometimes all the program makes it there sometimes it doesn't. I will try posting it locally and transfering it. thanks again, pulling out the large spike now (from my head). Paul

HELP! and Thanks in advance.
