Thank you Lynne! Its now working perfectly. I have one more question though. For users, who do not have permission to download files, currently see the default Message, when they click on the document link:

you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:

1. Your user account may not have sufficient privileges to access this page. Are you trying to edit someone else's post, access administrative features or some other privileged system?
2. If you are trying to post, the administrator may have disabled your account, or it may be awaiting activation.

How can I put up a custom message, specific to this situation, and NOT show the above default message?

Thanks again and sorry for all the trouble!
