+1 Steff,
or even longer in my case lol.
I do not try to learn all the tunes but always check to see what comes up.
Whatever happens, this thread is a great resource.
Eric, I must be losing my touch but I cannot find the icon to subscribe to this topic. I can see 2 places to unsubscribe but no place to subscribe. What am I missing??
Also - and here is my biggest problem - I don't have tabledit so I can't download and print any of the tabs and it drives me nuts. I've tried to get tabledit but I have an ipad so maybe that's why it won't work? Thanks for all you do for us here - we owe you!

Barb, TablEdit for the iPad is called TEFpad. It's really good although without as many features as the PC version (you won't miss them). I don't think they have a free trial version, but it's not expensive and well worth it--it includes a discount if you ever end up with a PC and want to upgrade. Do a search for "TEFpad" or just go to the TablEdit site; you'll find it.

I'm not Eric but......
There's a search function on the left hand side of the page right under "more" (it looks like a magnifying glass), hover over it and and you get a search window. Click on that window then put the subject in the search window and it will search and find topics that are applicable.
Sorry, didn't mean to hijack the thread. Now, back to the original topic.
