Thank's for both of your help. I went back to some old messages before I received
a reply and tried what it said in the old message. My mHZ's were to low. I changed
the mHZ'z to 333 and the whole program worked fine after that.
This is the first time I used this forum and I'm really impressed with all of the
solution's. Great job. Thank's again.
