Hi, Jim:
Thank you so much for all your time and efforts. It looks very good.
However, we need one more step to get it done. That is, whenever I am
trying to save the file, it will ask me "The file already exists. Do
you want to replace the existing file?". If I choose "No", everything
is perfect. But I DO NOT like people to choose "Yes". In other words, I
DO NOT want people to replace any exisiting file. Whenever they modify
a file, they MUST save it under a different name. There is no
exceptions.
Thanks again,
George
