Gail, you are a goddess! Was pacing waiting! Thanks a bunch, need to take to office tomorrow and of course braged about it all week so they would have beaten me up without it!

Wow, you weren't kidding about pacing.
I went back to add the nutritional info, figuring you were on pins and needles, and you'd already posted a reply.

Glad I was able to help.
