Thank you Bookbox.    So much easier to read once transcribed.

You're welcome. Another time, if you can, enlarge the image to a more readable size, use the snipping tool to clip the part you can't read, and post just that clip, instead of a shot of your whole screen. Makes it easier for others to help.
