Message received Charles. Perhaps the error checking message returned
could be clearer for internet dummies, since alpha character doesn't make
sense to some people...does to me, but doesn't to some. Perhaps it it was
spelled out....this means a character, a-z, A-Z must be in the field
somewhere....
