Hi Mary, As Simon has not signed into the forum since 2012 I've sent him a message to alert him to your message. If he still has the same email address he ought to get the PM. You may wish to revisit your post and take out your email address to prevent it being harvested by spammers and the like. Good Luck. Steve Y
