I have not been able to open this. Have tried with no success. What am I doing wrong?
Katherine, I don’t know what happened. It worked last night in the test, but this morning the chart was missing. I’ve corrected it and resent it.
Thanks for that clarification. That’s another keeper in my “important” folder.
Another great information drop. Thanks again, for the resources and information you share.
