    A)  Because of illness I did n't try it. I will install it and  send the
feed back. Once again thank u 4 ur effort.

Sebin sir, u said about mapping. I don't know the detail. if u give me the
things I am also interested. I know programming.
Another thing is, now I am developing a payroll in Visual Basic 4 my
institution. I am ready to distribute it after completion of the work.
