Big Al,

Thank you so much for your time. I'm sorry I couldn't explain it any
better. I started playing around with it again tonight to try to resolve my
issue, and it was probably a fluke, but I have it back to the way I wanted
it. It was something I had to change under "folders" which was something
about displaying common things together. Can't even find where I was at now!


Anyway, thank you for your time and effort. I really do appreciate it!

Cheri
