Well, Wes, this reminds me a a problem that we all have all the time. Scheduling conflicts. Suppose I am invited to celebrate my daughter's birthday. The celebration is two weeks away and it falls on the same date and time as my dental appointment. Do I cancel the dental appointment or the birthday bash? Neither. In two weeks time, one or the other will change and there will be no conflict. If not, I wait until 24 hours before the dental appointment and cancel that. (My Mama didn't raise no fool.) I learned this from my wife who was secretary to the big boss in a nearby government think tank. Her boss often had conflicting appointments that never conflicted. If you wait long enough, somebody else will make a change that solves your problem. Howard
