Steve,

Details, details, don't bother me with details. :).  Who knew a simple
little hyphen could wreak so much havoc.  It's gone and so are the
problems.  Thanks much for all your help.  Maybe I can actually handle the
RCM program on my own. (NOT likely, chimes the little voice...go away
voice).

L8tr,

Chris
