The first of the two new lines didn't work i I'm gong back to the one that did in post #727

Also, I found the "get headers" line was missing from the script (one too many cut-and-pastes, I'm afraid) - so let's not do anything different until I've got solid information on what works now that I've got the script back where it needs to be.

Sorry to have wasted a little of your time on this, lierduh - I didn't see the line was missing. I'll let you know what happens after I run this for a couple days.
