Wow, that sounds like a real party, Adam. I actually thought of that
one but it seemed like I was really not reading the manual. It's nice
to know that when I have what I think is a stupid question it turns out
I've run into the edge of the capabilities of the software. Makes me
feel better about my skillset, anyway. :-)
I think I'll come at this from a different direction. Thanks for
everyone's help, though! :-)
