Thanks for the suggestions. My settings matched what you identified. Somehow it's still not working. Thanks for your efforts. I really don't want to go back to Internet Explorer but if I can't resolve this, I may have to. I'm not giving up yet. Thanks again.

I can't believe it, all my settings are as you suggested. I sure didn't know enough to do that so it must have been my step-dad who set me up well. Those suggestions make sense but unfortunately, every one was already as suggested. It has to be something really simple as you've been so good to think of everything else.

Thanks.
