Thanks, Teresa and Lee, I'll have to use the backup then and start from there
;(
But that will definitely be easlier than entering the source for each
person and each event!

I had hoped that somehow by using tags or flags or something, it could have
been done....

But that taught me a lesson I'll not easily forget! ;)))
Best wishes
