Hi Problem Chimp - Very many thanks - that must be the longest post on this site. I had cackled instead of cackles which managed to throw me completely but I'm very grateful for the time and effort you spent on this

I don't usually use Google Chrome, only on this website as it autocompletes the name and email sections.
