Mary,

Chances are that you should have posted your response as a followup to the
original post (which you did quote... more than is often the case) or,
perhaps, sent it by email to the original author (from your quoted material,
that would seem to be John Bell). What you did was post, in a new,
unrelated thread, your message that seems to be intended as an email or at
the very least, a followup to the original post. When you post in this, the
comp.databases.ms-access, it is displayed to tens of thousands (at least)
all over the world.

Regards,

Larry
