It's the little things that get confusing! Thanks!! Plus: how do I mark an answer as most helpful? Are there instructions for dummies how to work with the support features?

You marked my answer as the one that solved your problem - if you didn't mean to do that, you can click the 'Undo' button to the right of that post.

Again, thank you.

I was able to mark it useful from the email, but I must be overlooking how to mark an old question. I asked a question several months ago, but did not see a way to do that.
