Hi Margaret& Reggie I thank you both, I can now go to bed tonight with that off my mind, as I have been trying to resolve that little problem all day.

Margaret Great place to live, I got married in 2001 at Chateau lake Louise Banff to my second wife while out there ski-ing (my first wife died aged just 49) Many happy memories of the Rockies!!! Brian
