Thank you for your interest and the offer Larry, but I have one already (noted in the first post). He's been DPLing the prior volumes of this series for me.

Have a Merry Christmas and a joyous New Year!

Have fun! :)

Hi Bev,

Merry Christmas!

I was just noticing that I must have originally, when setting up the template, added the [SOLO] and - darv pieces to the title field, rather than just the subject line of this thread, as they are appearing in the database and catalog. Is this something that you can fix?

Thank you,
Don

Merry Christmas Don!

Yes, it can be fixed. I'll check it out.

And fixed it is! Happy New Year!
