You sir, Are a genius! that was it. Sorry it wasn't clear that I had to make those two separately. Worked like a charm. Thank you. One last question. So now that it's going to last post, what would I need to do to make it go to last unread post? BTW This thread should be helpful to sooo many people. I've seen this question asked a lot of times in the archives with no real solution until now. Fantastic!
