Gerhard, you are too funny!

That is one of the "problems" with this imperfect medium that we know as: SAS-L. Much of the time we offer advice and never learn of the ultimate outcome. Was that advice used? Did it resolve the issue? Which of our postings resonated with the OP? Was the issues fully resolved or was a workaround necessary? Etc.

Then, there are the posters who do say "thank you", those that summarize proposed solutions, and those that state which ones worked. I love them! <--That is meant in a very general brotherly/sisterly way, so please don't cringe, out there in SAS-L-landia!

So, we take the bad with the good and the good with the bad, in terms of feedback. And doesn't that really mirror life itself?!?!?! In your own life, how many people that you give advice to let you know whether it worked or not and thank you thereafter? Right; same here:-(

Gerhard, best of luck in all of your SAS endeavors!


I hope that this suggestion proves helpful now, and in the future!
