Thanks! I'd forgotten that. I'd created that script about 4 years ago and now that you mentioned it I remembered that I'd turned it on but I neglected to put it in the script because it was not something that had to be done repeatedly. I'm back up now and I have the command to turn it on in the script itself so all is good. Thanks much!
