Dotcomformat

Ai-yi-yi. That is so incredibly obvious that I'm even more embarassed than I was before. Yes, thank you, that is exactly what I needed. I have no explanation except that I was possibly not seeing the forest for the trees. I'm just not very experienced with this stuff, and I'm terrified of making a simple mistake, which leads me to making even simpler mistakes.

Thank you again for your patience and your explanation!
