seconding Jonathan - please do read (and follow) forum guidelines when posting. In future, you will be asked to post in the right forum in order to receive a reply!

Also, it's a *great* idea to search before you post. Many problems have been discussed here already and you won't have to wait at all for an answer if you find that the previous discussion already addresses your question!
