Sorry for sending so many emails regarding this stupid question I had.
But I wanted to send one more stupid email to end off the thread.  I

works great.  All hyperlinks work fine.  Makes for much easier reading
:).  Thanks for everybody's help with this.  Just in case anyone else is
looking for it go here:
