Thank you all for the help you offered. No one in nearly 3 months has offered any help or any direction or any other forum link (except Chris-777 yesterday) that I should consider - except you all in this Site Feedback forum.
And yes, we do pay folks to help us. You'd think that the paid coders would have come along in 3 months and offered me the link to another forum to get this solved (at my expense, of course).
Again, my many thanks for your post.
As I said, if I was a competent coder, I'd help ya out but unfortunately what you're looking for is way beyond what I know how to do. What I've found in the years lurking here is that most of the time the simple stuff that seems easy to me is usually the most tedious to code.
