Hi jan Thanks for the info, the only problem is in a complete novice. i dont fully inderstand what im looking at, as im still learning

 

how do i change it without casusing errors. thelast time i changed something i had to start completely from scratch and i realy dont wanna have to again, sorry for being a pain but if you could explain in novice terms that would really help me.

 

thanks

John,

I'm sorry but I completely wrote the new piece of code in that post. I can't explain how to copy and paste a piece of code in a text. That should be basic knowledge.
