Thank you both. I will try this today.

@ howard1, no offense taken. chime in anytime pal. we're all here to look out for one another. i could be wrong too. there's stuff tat happens tat could mean a bunch of other things. i'm glad we're all contributing in a positive way.... as long as we're not off-topic, we're good. lol.

guys, speculated situations tat y'all listed are possibilities. here's something to add: if he's never messed wif tat area, then i don't think it may be the "problem" areas. jus thinking aloud. i lost my inner voice.
