Search for some tutorials instead. 2ndly, mate, sometimes, it's best to just walk away for a few hours/dys/weeks even, till you feel refreshed enuff to get stressed again..hehe..seriously, though, it's good advice, even if I say so myself. Also, there are great people in here who will help you. Good luck. Cheers. Mark Sargent. </PRE> </BLOCKQUOTE> </BODY> </HTML>
