Thanks, Fran

IC, it's "I" when it's the subject of the sentence, and "me" when it's the object of the sentence (the thing that is DONE TO-- and I know you know what THAT means :rolleyes:) OR the object of a preposition (if it helps, think of it as the object of a PROposition). Sex and grammar. Star Trek and relationships. Works for me.

There's a commercial on tv where the speaker says something along the lines of "if you need help with xxx, call Fred and I". Drives me batty.
