intel233, you've been a member at tek-tips since 2007 (11 years). Based on your history, you do not care to finalize anything you ask about. I did not read all your previous threads, but of those I did, 100% were left open. You asked for help, said you needed a fix, and even later replied you still needed help, but yet you never came back to share the final solution or say fixed or not. Others tried to helped, and asked questions for clarification and you never responded. Not once but 100% of the time. Of all the help you seem to have gotten, I didn't see where you showed that you received help. Given all that, I sure hope that if someone gives a good answer here, you at least let them know it was what you needed.

I have no idea if your in a bad mood or what but I just looked at my threads and at least 50% have no answers so its hard to write back and say its fixed. Some are still not working but after a certain about of time I consider it a dead issue when no one responds.
I haven't had time to check here in a while, obviously, but no, not a bad mood.
When you ask a question seeking someone else's help, you cannot just toss out the ideas the way they make sense to you at the moment. You've got to step outside your box, look at the situation, and say, "how would SOMEONE ELSE see it?"
For instance, here you said:
I've had to do the same thing before, so I know what I'm talking about.
Also, once you start a trend of never marking items helpful when they actually were, some of those who DO know the answer may just simply choose not to share, since you don't seem interested in following-up or at least let folks know what was or was not helpful.
In this situation, here your question sits 17 days later with not a hint of help. Ever stopped to ask why? Frankly, I could only guess as to what you're after from your one line. Can some questions be that simple? Yes. But also just as likely if it's that simple, then you can simply search your question online and find the answer more quickly anyway.
I hope you can get it cleared up and sorted out, but that won't help. You've got to dig in and think about it. What is the situation? What have you tried? Etc Etc... Better to provide too much detail than practically no detail.

For instance, here you said:
Well, MAYBE someone here has dealt specifically with that, but maybe not. I think it would help you if you were to type out your question elsewhere, read it, think about it, then make some edits, and then maybe post it. Just like writing a paper in school. First draft is usually not that great.
