No harm done.  No I can't imagine just asking for the code.  I mean how 
would I learn anything.  I would rather struggle, then post the code that I 
was trying and get nudged in the right direction.  You learn more from your 
failures than your successes.

Yes, I got some great advice.  I also like the fact that everyone tries to 
point you in the right direction versus just giving you code.  That helps me 
as a beginner in providing me with new exercises which you don't find to 
much of in the tutorials.

Thanks for the advice. I will try to be more verbose in the future in what I 
am trying to do so I don't come off as an experienced programmer trying to 
snag some free code.

Btw, I am just learning on my own not through any classes.  So far I have 
learned alot from two of the five tutorials that I have read so far(Josh 
Cogliati's: Non-Programmer's Tutorial for Python and Alan Gauld's: Tutor - 
May 27, 2007).

You bet.  When I finish the date reminder program that I am working on I 
will be asking about working with the EasyGUI and the pywin32.

Thanks again,

Katt
