Mike,
    Thanks that did it. I did run into this when I originally was 
looking through the add ons but either I found an older version or I 
miss understood the instructions, it kept coming up with not found. This 
time it worked although it's a little weird in the way it installs but 
it seems to be worth it. Now if I can just get my wife to use her's then 
I might be able to figure out her schedule/;^}
