    Eileen,
    The tut I used is from Jean Machine from this forum. She has a wonderful 5 part tut that is very clear and easy to understand. Here are the links to her tut.

    could you let me know which tutorial you watched of Jenny's when she put a zip in. I am much better to see something being done than try to follow reading it.

    Eileen,
    I'm not sure that worked. Here is a link to the forum where I posted the link to Jean's tutorial.

    Eureka!!!
