    Thanks Bryan.
I didn't put the proper spelling in my email correct feature in windows mail 
and I think it corrected when I told it not to.
And that's a very important point. Sendero is correct not senderon.
Glad I don't call my wifeTerra  Tara she'd knock the tar out of me.
Sendero is much nicer though.
lol
Just kidding.

Mike
