silver, thanks--yes, i know where it was supposed to be--thought i made that clear [if not, sorry]. anyway, i was not in 'float' either, but a reboot rectified the situ. forgot i was online for a few days--guess that reboot did the trick, but i was worried for a minute... sorry for essentially wasting the forum's time--it was unnecessary this time, but thanks again for the reply.
see you all next time--
