Hey guys...
I've tried everything you each suggested... and more...
All to no avail...
Bummer...
At this point I'm thinkin' Damocles_ is right...
It's a "systematic problem", most likly user (my) error...
And... I'm wastin' to much time...
So, Damocles_ is, once again, right...
"The time is spend better on other stuff."
I'm still lookin' for a pro-coder to do other work, so I'll ask him to address that too...
Thank you all for your suggestions and help...
