Asked and answered in the other newsgroup to which you posted. Please don't multipost; it makes more work for everyone and will get you *less* help, not more. See this for why: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crossposting http://www.blakjak.demon.co.uk/mul_crss.htm - multiposting If you have forgotten where you posted or can't find your post, use Google Groups Advanced Search and search for your name. If you have further questions about this subject for me, please post them in your original thread; I won't be monitoring this one.

You did *not* crosspost. If you had crossposted, that would have been fine. What you did was multipost, and that's always a bad thing to do. Please do not send the same message separately to more than one newsgroup (called multiposting). Doing so just fragments the thread, so someone who answers in one newsgroup doesn't get to see answers from others in another newsgroup. And for those who read all the newsgroups the message is multiposted to, they see the message multiple times instead of once (they would see it only once if you correctly crossposted instead). This wastes everyone's time, and gets you poorer help than you should get. If you must send the same message to more than one newsgroup, please do so by crossposting (but only to a *few* related newsgroups). To crosspost, you address a single message to multiple groups, rather than multiple messages to one group each, as you did.
