Placing and removing Groups with 3.0

[Joe Lewis Wilkins]

Sarah,

I had tried that earlier, but since I've got everything fixed now, I  
probably won't check it out again very soon. (smile) However, I was  
using a card number in a repeat loop instead of a name, so maybe it  
didn't like that.

Thanks, as usual, for your consistent patience,

Joe Wilkins
