awww, that is what I needed to know. Talk about a major brain fart. I was looking for an actual key somewhere. Thank you AJ! Thanks everyone for all the infromation. I've started reading up on this so I can understand it better. There is so much different information out there but nothing that I have found yet that goes into great detail about it.
