Thank you both.  I'm still pretty new will all of this and don't
understand how to code or debug.  So for now, I'll just leave things as
they are because I can workaround it with the context menu.  If there's
something you'd like me to try and are willing to walk me through it,
I'd be happy to help.

Thanks again!

Drew
