".. yet I am now sitting with a -1 reputation for asking a question."

No need to worry about a reputation of -1 for just one thread/question.

But if you didn't have that worsed node of the day (N.B.: you didn't yet...) once you won't become a real monk ;-)

Here is a link about how great this site is and how it works: Moo and Spreadsheet::ParseExcel. I really needed this. Just take a look at the timestamps.

So stay cool, browse through the nodes, respect the simple rules and enjoy.

And i think that everybody here knows how boring it is if you are under pressure and need a solution and you can't figure it out.

I hope this helps and my best regards, Karl
