Thanks kettledrum. I was off on the wrong track entirely. Knew it had to be the answer, but with going out in left field couldn't figure out the why of it.
Appreciate your help.

It's a pleasure, O-ice! You're usually so on the ball that I was wondering if you'd had a really good evening meal !

Well, we were out and came in frozen to the bone and tramping the snow off so we had a hot toddy to start things rolling and.......need I say more. Not tiddley, but the brain cells must slow down.
I'm off now to try and read my book. Hope I don't fall asleep over it.
