I opened the default.jss file & looked for the word "collection" b4 I wrote the list--honest I did--& just because yesterday was the 3rd anniversary of my daughter's death, well, I thought perhaps in my fog I could have missed it so I searched again just now & no, Jaws gave me the big clunking sound when I looked for it. I had also looked for it via the windows file search method, e.g., a file called *.jss containing the word collection in my all users application data freedom scientific settings enu folder & found nothing. That is why I wrote the list. So, I'm guessing, given what u say, that I need to download the latest update--I tried unsuccessfully to install it when it came out so I guess manually is the way to go. Thanks for the info, Doug. I really did try these things unsuccessfully b4 writing the list cuz I don't believe in asking folks for help if something's right in front of my nose & I haven't studied it. Yall know I don't. Anyway, apologies, guys. Guess I'll need to cook the egg all over my face before I can have it for breakfast, huh? lol. Irritating! Beyond irritating! Not to mention pretty embarrassing. Anyway, I'll go back into my lurking hole now. thanks again.
