I appreciate very much the time you took. Mr. Schmidt's suggestion was
certainly worth a try; but didn't work -- same result.
Kevin K's suggestion might have worked -- but using the script method is
beyond my expertise and inserting the password without the script defeats
the purpose; although probably none of our users would be able to access it.
