Now THAT fixed the problem. I compared my key values (if that is what they are
called) to yours and found the only changes I had to make were in the "Text"
values. In "NOHIDDEN" where you have 30501, I had 30500, and in "SHOWALL" where
you have 30500, I had 30501. I made the appropriate chages and it is all fixed,
"Show" and "Hide" are no longer reversed. I wonder what I did to have made
those values change. Your importing instruction on the bottom (below) using
Notepad etc. are a bit over my ability ... maybe someday :-) --- Harold
