Hi Ketho
I see, that is why I couldn't get it working; thanks for letting me know, at least I now know I wasn't totally stupid
The answer is not the one I would like but now I know for sure; and I can see how it is probably a good thing that we cannot send icons to chat, as DahkCeles proves.
Thanks to everyone for the help and suggestions.
I love this forum; as a self-taught noob I really appreciate the great help and explanations.
Cheers all
