Amy, Peggy and all
Peggy, thanks for your help with this! The notifications give me all I need, the brilliant Amy also helped with Amy's information! I will keep the email but pass on doing this with the calendar app, a bit beyond me at the moment, and not that important, I now can do - get the information I wanted, so again, huge thanks to you both! This is a mighty fine list!!!
Peter
