Hi, Janet --

Thanks, but that's my problem. I get this for items that I have entered
myself -- new ones, not even editing the ones they already have. That's
why it throws me -- I've told 'em everything they need to know (yes, my
desk is covered with packages -- LOL!), so the program doesn't need to
"assume" anything.

But the assumption is throwing things off. Oh, well!

Thanks anyway! :-)
