Deletes Are Driving Me Crazy

[Matthew Glubb]

Thanks for the reply, but no, that is not want I want. I need to know  
that when I delete an item, it is deleted. I need to be able to use  
add because there are other situations where I want to prevent the  
possibility of overwriting a value. 'add' is a great way to defend  
against that situation.
