Thanks Arcanaville. I think I got the gist of what's going on now. I was just thinking of it from the wrong angle. Numbers really can be frustrating at times (especially when I am right and too frustrated to see it as you pointed out) and I never have liked mixing words with numbers ie word problems, algebra etc.. I really didn't mean to insult anyone or, as Plasma pointed out, to be rude. Just very hard to figure things out sometimes. I am going to remove my previous posts as, again Plasma pointed out, they don't belong here and will remove this one after you have had a chance to read it. I hope you will accept my apologies for bringing my frustration and, in hind-sight, lack of judgement to your work in such a manner. Again, i apologize for any and all things out-of-line on my part. And thank you again for helping me get a better understanding of what's going on with the numbers game here.
