Hi MIK and thanks! I've been here on the forum for awhile mostly lurking since this project has been slow getting off the ground. First, thanks for your detailed answer. A little push was what I...

I'm working on a Beth, about to start attaching things to other things and running into brain freeze. Two questions before I commit a faux pas...anyone have any guidance?
