I keep being amazed (I suppose I shouldn't be, by now) at how bad many
people are at reporting problems (including some of the professional
software developers who are my colleagues).
Yours was actually better than many - you said what you were trying to
do and you even said what result you got (you'd be amazed how many
people looking for help just say it 'didn't work').

I'm glad you solved your problem, but I have a great deal of sympathy
with David's reply. I don't think you would have got such a sarcastic
reply if you hadn't posted your aggressive second posting.
Of course, given you hadn't had a reply in the first 24 hours you
probably wouldn't have got one - because there was not enough
information in your original posting.
