Hi Doug,

BINGO!!!  Go to the head of the class.

I went back today and I found that I DID NOT change the account
number for the partition.  Fixed that and armed the system.
All signals good.

Won't make that mistake again.  Crap!!  Now this new info

remember what it was and maybe shouldn't care but it is
GONE Gone gone..........................
