I just installed CM7 stable using eyeballer's guide but can't get gapps to work. When I installed everything from the bootable CWM it all seemed to work fine. CM7, gapps, the OC kernel, and CWM all said they installed correctly in CWM. I booted into CM7 just fine and it seems that everything is working, except there aren't any gapps. I tried reinstalling them several times with no luck. I saw in another thread that "fixing permissions" in CWM worked for someone, but it didn't for me. I did some more searching but didn't find anything else that seemed to help in my situation. I'm sure I missed something in my search, but it's late and I need to get to bed.
Any ideas? Sorry I couldn't find the answer on my own.
Thanks!

Did you actually look to see if they are there in /system/app? Did you try reinstalling them, maybe gapps didn't actually install?
connect to wifi after flashing gaaps
I never checked the systzem/apps folder. I just assumed they'd be in the launchers app tray that shows all your apps. Each time I installed gapps in CWR it looked like it installed just fine. There was never an error message. Ill check that directory when I get home.
I've been connected to wifi since I installed CM7 so I wouldn't think that was the problem. Should I disconnect wifi, reinstall gapps through CWR, boot into CM7, turn on wifi, and gapps should show up?
Thanks guys!!!!

Honestly I know it sounds weird but its been confirmed from several people that if after flashing GAAPS you dont see the market icon, then connect to wifi. I can also confirm that it was hidden for me after flashing. Then wifi connect, then then icon shows up on the home screen....weird.

Just got home from lunch and booted it up. I turned off wifi, rebooted and turned it back on and there was the Market app. Everything's working great now. I'm still an idiot
Thanks again you guys!
yeah it wont show up right away after first installing - after you activate a WiFi connection then market shows up. click on market and it will ask you if you want to download the rest of the apps

Gapps Still Not Working
I have installed CM7 and Gapps on a Samsung Fascinate via this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1116424
After it didn't work the first time, I started digging for a solution. Following the advise in this current thread I reinstalled Gapps, booted up and started WiFi. Still no market icon on the home page. So I disabled WiFi, rebooted for good measure, and re-enabled WiFi. Still no market icon.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!
I figured out the issue! This is VERY IMPORTANT and I couldn't really find it spelled out anywhere. You cannot boot into recovery mode via the 3 finger method when installing the Gapps. You must use the menu within Cyanogen (reboot -> recovery) to get into recovery mode. Then everything works as expected.
Had same problem with ZTE v9 tablet, had to add my Google account in settings -> accounts & sync while having a decent data connection (wifi / good 3g) and then market app and associated apps installed automatically.
hey there.
i flashed cm7 on my sgs2. and with it the latest version of gapps. i had the market from the beginning. but no other google apps. i tried everything you posted here. but it did not work.
since i had access to the market i now installed maps (and along with it latitude and navigation). but there is no gmail-app on the market. so i do not have that. any other idea to get it?

I have this exact same problem. I have just installed CM7 on my samsung galaxy pop/mini. I installed the gapps zip file through CWM. Installation finished just fine without any errors. Reboot done. No market icon or any other gapp icon shows up on the homescreen on the app drawer. So I started wifi. Connected. Still no icon. So I installed just the market apk from the internet. The apk installed fine but it asks me to add an account. So I click on yes and it takes me back to home screen. I went to Settings>Accounts and Sync. Clicked on Add account but it doesn't give me an option to select the type of a/c(Eg. Google, FB, Twitter, Etc.). The wizard that I get says Add an Exchange a/c. It just simply doesn't allow me to add a google a/c. Please help guys.
Note: I never got any option to sign in with my google a/c at first boot..
I'm also having problems with installing gapps downloaded at http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Gapps#Google_Apps.
I try to reboot to recovery, but the blue text just says that "gapps was not found".
Is there a specific place that the gapps zip file needs to be saved? I downloaded it via the Nook and it got saved to the sdcard's "download" folder. I've read that I need to save it under the "boot" partition... how do I do that? Can I do this through the terminal emulator?
Thanks!

Yes... in T.E.:
mkdir /sdcard/boot
mount /dev/block/mmcbkl1p1 /sdcard/temp
cp /sdcard/download/GAPPS FILE.zip /sdcard/boot
For some reason "mount" was a not a valid command line operation... so I got off my lazy ass and moved the file over to the boot partition using a linux box that I had. Problem solved!
A couple of tips if you are installing the gapps. zip through CWR yet still find no google apis upon booting up.
1) wipe data and partition in CWR like usual, but also wipe DAVLIK cache before installing encore and gapps zip. you will find the wipe DAVLIK option in the advanced menu in CWR. I know that this step is omitted in many of the how-to's, because it is not always necessary. If you are having trouble with installed gapps not showing up, try this.
2) Pay attention to the version number of CWR! When I wrote the clockwork image to my SD card, I must have followed an old link. I didn't notice until much later that the clockwork that booted off mt SD card was 3.005. this caused major issues once I flashed a current version of CWR through the ROM manager (3.023). I encountered missing md5 sums in my back ups, and would get error messages "cannot mount system". Additionally, when I would attempt to reflash my zips, the google apis would not appear, and the only way to get them was to reinstall them through titanium backup.
I believe this wad because I wad using two incompatible versions of CWR. if I rebooted to recovery through the ROM Manager instead of simply loading from the SD card, I would be in the current version, where I wiped the data and partition like usual, wiped the DAVLIK to be sure, and then boom, the setup for google loaded upon boot.
Slip the registration process until you are connected to wifi. that is why some of the above users did not see the market until they connected to a network.
Hope this helps some people, it drove me crazy until I figures it out.

In this case... you can use:
busybox mount /dev/block/mmcblk1p1 /sdcard/boot
Sometimes busybox commands are not symlinked but are available by specifying "busybox" command

If I back up and reflash the rom with the Google app checked it will get to thescreen where it has the blue Droid says cyangenmod with the circle spinning around and it will never load. But with no gapps it loads fine. Please help this is use less with no market.

I don't understand...it's simple. Download the gapps package to your phone, move it to the root of your sdcard (i.e. /sdcard) then boot into clockwork, install zip from flash card, choose zip, choose the gapps package and voila.
http://android.d3xt3r01.tk/cyanogen/gapps/gapps-mdpi-20101020-signed.zip
The exact steps to follow:
1. Root with unrevoked.
2. Wipe data/factory reset
3. Install CM6.1 RC2
4. Install gapps
5. Reboot device and everything should work nicely.

It might be worth his while to boot into the ROM after flashing it, then boot back to clockwork and flash the gapps package.
This is what. II see the zip file and u click it and it say installed syccesfully Bujumbura when u reboot it never loads to my home screen.

dujumbura? What are the procedures you are following to flash the package? Are you using ROM manager? Do you have your phone plugged into USB while booting into clockwork? gotta be a little more specific my friend.

Sorry that word was a typo lol. I used rom manager to get the rom. I download the gapps to my SD card using the browser on my phone.
I go into clockwork to install the gapps and reload cygeno. Is this correct way?it works fine all but Google apps.

Are you using ROM manager to install gapps? If you are, don't. Just use clockwork. I understand it's the long way, and its somewhat of a pain compared to using ROM manager...but i've read about a lot of people having issues with doing things like this via ROM manager...
Ok here is what I just did. I downloaded the above link. I turned my phone off booted into clockwork. Found the above file. Installed it. Rebooted. It loaded. Past the cygeno screen where it then asked me if I wanted to back up with Google I checked no. Then hit continue. It goes to a screen says welcome to libirty. Touch the android to start. A little hand is touching. II do this and nothing happens. I downloaded with my phone browsers.

Ok I'm posting to let any one know that may have this problem. I fixed this easy. I just downloaded the gapps for my phone straight from my phone browser except I got the tiny one instead. Clockwork, zip file, install the zip,reboot,bam all Google apps there. For some reason the tiny was the right one for my phone.

I've tried install the gapps a few times. redownloaded the latest version twice and it doesn't seem to be working for me. I just go into CW Rocovery and select flash from sdcard and select the gapps.zip. goes though ok but when I boot up CM7 no gapps So is this something with the nightlys that might be corrected later. I have the latest nightly build (02/27). or is there another way to install them?

edit: Dumb luck fixed it. I was looking at some of the other options in CW and saw there was a fix permission button. pressed it. It did its thing I rebooted and all the gapps showed up!

close thread.
Thanks for coming back and answering your own question. Saved me from having to ask it.
Since T-Mobile's data coverage is so lousy in my home I had to kill GAPPS installation on first boot because I couldn't get any actual downloads. I couldn't switch out of the GAPPS install screen to setup wifi, so I had to just kill it and reboot. I tried reflashing it after setting up wifi connection, but it would never start. If I'm in same situation again, I'll just try the fix permissions.
On my Nexus One, GAPPS didn't install from ROM Mgr for some reason so I had to reboot and reflash it anyways, but I had working wifi from the first boot so I didn't notice the issue for that phone.
Seems like CM ought to allow you to setup wifi BEFORE (or during) the GAPPS installation.
my cm7 rc2 came with gapps and 2.3.3
thank you so much! i did it and after the reboot i didn't saw the market, then i read in an other thead, i have to enable wifi. i did it before i use your fix permission trick and nothing happend! after your awesome trick it worked!
after hours and hours of flashing and reflashing and screaming and crying, i am so happy xD
I can't for the love of god get the gapps to work on my phone. No market place, I get a parsing error when I try to install any apks. No google apps whatsoever. On the Samsung Captivate. Have tried fixing permissions, nothing. Beyond frustrating.
EDIT: The below issue has been fixed. Here's the guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1110599

Howdy folks!
I've just bought a Nook Color, and I followed these instructions to the letter:
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Barnes_&_Noble_Nook_Color:_Full_Update_Guide
(I've done it before and it worked perfectly)
However, this time after installing CM7 and the GApps zips, I reboot and I cannot see the Market app. It doesn't exist. (see attached image).
I thought maybe it was just a problem where I simply have to add a google account...
I go to menu->settings->accounts and sync->add account
Rather than the normal "choose an account type" dialog, It says "you can configure an exchange account" and I am not given the option to choose a Google account.
I reimaged a different SD card and rebooted into recovery using that card and wiped data, wiped cache, installed CM7, installed gapps, and rebooted.
Once again, the same exact issue.
I reboot to recovery again and this time I just install gapps and reboot... same issue...
Any help would be extremely appreciated, and if you can solve this problem for me, I'll even 'donate' 5 bucks if you have that set up.
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated here.
Thanks!
Could it matter what version of CM7 you're using?
Thank you for the response.
I've tried CM7.0.3 and the latest nightly [today]
Google Apps pretty clearly did not install. My best guess is either you somehow grabbed the wrong package or your download just got corrupted. You should scrap the gapps...zip you downloaded and re-download this package:
I just tried it to double-check, and the main download link was flagged malicious by Avast and didn't load, so I used the mirror. Try that.
With CM7 installed, make sure Wi-Fi is set up (sometimes prevents complications), then reboot into ClockworkMod Recovery. Insert the SD card with the new gapps-gb-20110307-signed.zip file in the root directory. Choose "install zip from sd card," then "choose zip from sd card," then "gapps-gb-20110307-signed.zip," then "Yes."
You should see some text in the bottom half of the display indicating that the install is proceeding, and eventually that it has finished. Click the power button to back out to the main menu, then "reboot system now."
If that doesn't do it, I've about exhausted my knowledge.
Hello, and thank you for the reply.
I've tried it on two different sytems on 3 different nooks with 3 different SD cards and various different versions of gapps and CM7 including the nightlies.
This problem started when the nooks with the "green stickers" came out.
(Green sticker indicates that it has the new version of Nook software, while a blue sticker indicates that it has the weird new partitioning scheme. These do not have the blue sticker.)
I've tried enabling wifi and whatnot, and then reinstalling the gapps package but no bueno. The apks don't even seem to exist in the system\app directory.
This is a global problem with any new Nooks. I think i just happen to be one of the first ones to experience it.

This has been an ongoing problem for me since I came back to CM7 from HC last week. I don't think it has anything to do with the old or new because I got my NC on launch day.
I had figured that it was just something I had done (I get distracted easily so following directions is....oooooh! A bunny! ) but I've reflashed CM7 and GApps 3 seperate times.
It's only really an annoyance for me since I had most of my apps backed up and I've managed to get the Amazon store and AppPlanet up and running. I'd just like to get the Google market running just so I can have the Trifecta.
I really hope we can figure this out. I know this can't be just me.
What actually happens when you try to install the gapps zip? Does CWM indicate that it is in fact installing the package, and then that it's done?

indeed it does
some added info:
on the "green sticker" nooks, when you try to flash the update OR the gapps, it says it can't mount system or data to make logs, but still seems to work fine. If I manually mount system or data first, it doesn't throw the errors. After flashing CM7, I get fewer errors. CM7 flashes just fine, and the gapps install and CM7 both say install completed, it's just the gapps that don't show up :S
I've heard some people were having trouble flashing the latest stable 7.0.3 and getting gapps to install. This worked for me. I flashed cm7.0.2 from cyanogens site and the google apps add on on the same page. I then flashed 7.0.3 without the google apps add on included with 7.0.3 and it worked. Hope that helps some people
I'm not really sure what you're saying. The gapps aren't installing is the problem.
S/He's saying try installing the previous stable build and see if gapps will install with that. If so, you can then upgrade to 7.0.3 and gapps should remain in place. Technically that's what I did, just because the new stable came out after I had 7.0.2 up and running on SD, but I didn't have any problems flashing gapps with the 7.1 beta to eMMC later on.
ah, I see - I tried that. in fact, I know that on previous versions of the Nook, the gapps installed just fine. I think it's something to do with the 'green sticker nooks'.
I hope this gets or has gotten solved as I just bought a "green dot" NC.
The issue persists, I'm afraid. While it seems I'm not the only one with the problem, there appears to be no solution.
Update: The issue persists on the "blue dot" nooks.
Several 'green-dot' owners have reported installing everything just fine, so that may not be the source of your woes. Have you tried the repartitioning thread for blue-dots, even though you don't have a blue-dot? It seems like your best bet is to one way or another get your NC into a state identical to machines that aren't having this issue.

0_o where did you even get something like that? The current version is 3.0.2.8
You need one of the images from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=13283643&postcount=34
I used the one on the CM7 wiki but I can see that wiki has been updated this week. I will try the one you linked and get back on this thread if it works. Thanks a ton. Hope this hasn't all been due to my retardedness. B-)
I have a NC 1.2. I am able to root using a CWM 3.0.2.8 Msd card with Manual Nooter no problem. The problem occurs when I shut it off and then reboot. It gets to the part where the words "Nook Color" start scrolling across the screen. "Nook Color" completes one time successfully and when it starts scrolling again, it stops halfway through the first "o" in "Color", and just repeats indefinitely. The only thing I could do is completely reset, eight failed boots. At first I thought it may be an older version of CWM on my Msd card so I made a new one with v. 3.0.2.8 and rooted successfully, but first time I shut it off and rebooted, it happened again. I am thinking only thing to do is never turn it off. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Are you saying that after you flash MN, you remove the SD card, it will fully boot up into the OS, then when you turn off the device and try to turn it back on, it will then not boot up? Or, are you saying that after you flash MN, you remove the SD card, and then the device fails to boot?
It sounds to me like you are wiping the system before you flash MN, but until I get the answers to the above questions, I can’t say for sure. MN is a add on pack for the stock OS, not a full rom, so you don’t wipe before you flash.
I have latest version of MN. I do not wipe anything. I boot into CWM and install MN with a msd card. Upon successful installation of MN, I remove msd card and reboot successfully that one time into a rooted NC. I can use Gmail app, download and install from both Android and Amazon markets. However, if I power down completely and reboot, it loops as explained in my OP.

Are you updating Adobe Flash? You can't directly update Adobe Flash from the Nook Color. The most common issues that will cause a boot loop on a NC after having a fully working device, are installing the wrong kernel, and updating Adobe Flash from the Market. If you updated Adobe Flash, download the attached file, and flash with CWM. The file should delete the old flash player, and install the updated one. This should give you a working device again. If it does work for you, please report back here so others will know what the fix it.

The most common issues that will cause a boot loop on a NC after having a fully working device, are installing the wrong kernel, and updating Adobe Flash from the Market. If you updated Adobe Flash, download the attached file, and flash with CWM. The file should delete the old flash player, and install the updated one. This should give you a working device again. If it does work for you, please report back here so others will know what the fix it.

I have updated Flash Player from the Market after rooting. If I remember correctly, I've powered down after rooting and installing numerous apps, including Flash, and rebooted . Maybe that's the culprit. I have not installed a different kernel. I'll go ahead and install the attached zip, with much thanks, but I don't know if I want to power off and reboot, for fear of dreaded boot loop.
Ok, I installed Flash Fix and rebooted, and the same boot loop is occurring. Looks like time to reset and reroot, and for now, never turn it off.

I just realized that I missed a step in the install script for that file, that is why it did not work for you. Yes, adobe flash is your problem. To update Adobe Flash on the nook color, you have to uninstall the old version, and then install the new adobe flash.
For all future references, I have attached the working Adobe Flash fix file. It includes flash version 10.3.186.3, that was released today. It has been tested to work, and you can allow auto-update in the market without future problems.
Ok, thanks, I will reluctantly give this a try when I get home from work.
Edit: Ok, now. I'm trying to uninstall Flash Player and having difficulties. It doesn't show up in the app drawer, so I go to Market to see if there is an uninstall option, but there is only an update option, so I updated, and then uninstalled to see if that would work, but it still showed up in "my apps", in market. I opened up app drawer and selected manage apps and found it, but selecting the uninstall button does nothing. I then tried installing Titanium Backup and after installing, Titanium Backup won't open and doesn't even show up in my app drawer. So, I'm a little stymied now. Unsure what to do next

Titanium Backup is going to be your best bet to do the uninstall process. When you selected update Flash from the market, then went and uninstalled it, you were only uninstalling the update. If TB installed, then it should show up in the app drawer of Zeam launcher. You can go into the market, and select to open it from there. Sometime it will not open on first attempt, because it is trying to ask you to give it root permission. If you still have trouble with it not opening, then uninstall it, and try to install it again. You can also open up the “Superuser” app to make sure that it has not been denied root permission.
TB definitely didn't appear in Zeam app drawer. I'm charging now and give it another shot in a bit.
Edit: Success. I got TB installed. I made a stupid error. I only installed the paid app, not the free also. I got Flash uninstalled and installed your Flash Fix.zip with numerous reboots with no boot loops.
GMPOWER, Thanks for your assistance

I don't normally bump old threads, but this just saved me
Thanks a lot, I was at wits end figuring out why it was boot looping.

Same here. Big thanks to GMPower! (My first post here, now I can use the Thanks button!)
Total noob question. This is my first time rooting. I got the root to work fine but updated Flash before finding out about the loop. I'm not sure what I'm supposed to do to fix this problem. OP in this thread said he reinstalled MN 4.6.16 via bootable SD with CWM and could get his nook to boot up. I tried that and rebooted but I'm still getting stuck in the loop.
Do I need to wipe my nook before reapplying MN?

Use the zip file in post #7 (in this thread). Drop it onto the same SD card you used to load MN 4.6.16. Put the SD card in and it'll boot to CWM....then flash that zip file the same way you flashed MN. Then, power off the NC, remove the CWM SD card and put in your regular SD and turn the NC back on. That should be it...no more boot loop.
I've got the same issue as the thread started and I downloaded the zip from post 7 and flashed it just like I flashed MN, but it's still boot looping. It gets a bit farther into the "Nook Color" logo but keeps repeating.
Boot Loops NC 1.3

This problem started for me on Rooted 1.3. October 5th, Applied this fix.
Thanks GMPOWER
I figure I will explain my problem in more detail. I am working with my girlfriend's Nook trying to get it rooted. The first time I did she had 1.2 stock and I rooted it successfully. She updated flash not knowing that it would cause a boot loop. I had no idea how to fix it so she set it back to factory settings and procedded to update to 1.3 to see if that would solve the boot loop. I rooted it again and it started boot looping again. I found this thread and the flash fix. I flashed it onto the Nook and it fixed the loop problem.
Well she found out that the marketplace has limited visibility with 1.3 and wanted to go back to 1.2 to have her full visibility back. So she factory reset it again, I rooted it again and it started boot looping again. This time though the fix from post 7 isn't helping. I flash it and then reboot and it loads the "Nook Color" logo once fully and then stops and starts it over again and gets stuck at "Nook Col".
Is there anyone who might be able to help me with what the problem is, or am I gonna have to reset it back to stock, use Titanium Backup to remove flash and then use the zip from post 7? I know that it's not a root problem because I successfully rooted my mom's Nook before my girlfriends and her's is working fine.
Followed your instructions and my problem solved, many thanks!

my first post. thanks GMpower
just had this happen to me too. I've tried the flash update, and I get slightly more of the nook color boot graphic but it still hangs.
any thoughts?
I installed CM9 Eyeballer the other day on my NC. It pretty much works, but if I go into the web browser or any other factory-installed app, hitting the "N" button takes me back to the factory-installed home screen, and I can't find any way to get back to the Android home screen, short of rebooting the device. Is this normal?
Also, I flashed Gapps using gapps-20120429-ics-signed.zip, and the only Google App that appears is Play Store -- I was able to sign in, but the next screen gave me a "Server Error," and that's all it's done since. I verified the md5sum, and also tried again to install it. No change. Is there some version conflict, or something like that?
Edit: did not install CM9, after all. I now have.
What is the 'factory installed home screen'? You mean stock? That is not possible if you installed CM9 over the top of stock on emmc. Can you explain a little more how you installed it and what you mean.
Well...
I followed the directions as closely as I could: create a recovery chip, copy over the zip file (manualnooter-5.08.20-apps2sd.zip), reboot, install from zip file, install Manual Nooter, flash update-Froyo1.2-dalingrin-OC-emmc-090111.zip, install Gapps, reboot again. As far as I could tell, my results were consistent with the directions, up until the symptoms I described. For example, the splash (smash) screen is right, and the rainbow-y thing, and so on.
This partial success is even more frustrating than a total failure.

Your original post said you installed CM9. You did not. You just rooted your stock rom. You might want to edit the title of the post to 'Manual Nooter installed properly, Gapps not working. Then take that CM9 Eyeballer statement out of the text in the first post and you might get some proper responses from folks.
Sure enough.

Ah... I was under the impression that Eyeballer was a version name of CM9. None of the sets of instructions I read made it clear to me that wasn't the case.
I ended up doing a factory reset, then reinstalling everything. The picture is far rosier now -- it finally looks the way I pictured!
Thanks!

Eyeballer does build a version of CM9. But that has nothing to do with what you did. You ran Manual Nooter, which is a tool to root your stock installation. CM9 is a completely different version of Android than stock is. And when you install CM9, your stock is completely removed and replaced by CM9.
You do not have CM9 installed, you have just rooted your stock rom.
Anyway, I'm glad you got it working.
Edit: I see you modified your original post to say you did later install CM9.
[ROM][NC] Unofficial CM9 Nightly builds - with/without OpenGL
I don't have enough posts in XDA to post in the (goo dot gl/vPJcM) actual ROM thread so I'm hoping someone will see it here.
After installing the CM7 ROM a long time ago. they Nook wasn't able to boot into CWM. I can only access the recovery using a bootable SD card. That may or may not matter.
Yesterday I installed both the 3 SEP OpenGL and 4 SEP versions of Eyeballers CM9 ROM along with GAPPS. In both versions I cannot get bast the Setup Wizard since it "unfortunately Closed" every time I "touch the Android".
I did install the ROM w/o GAPPS as a temporary fix but will need to eventually access the Play Store.
I did notice that CWM still wont boot into recovery and the Cyanoboot won't either. Cyanoboot takes me to what appears to be a stock Nook screen claiming that an install has failed and that I should power on/off or contact customer service.
Does anybody have any suggestions?
Thanks!
JC

You do not have CWM installed on internal memory (emmc). That message you are getting means you still have the stock recovery there. You need to flash a CWM to emmc using your bootable CWM card. Look in my tips thread linked in my signature. Look at item A8 and the subheading 'to fix a corrupted or missing recovery on emmc'.
I don't know how to solve your other problem with gapps, other than to do a factory reset with CWM.
From what I can tell, Eyeballer is mostly drinking.

Thank you very much for the response, I will try this as soon as I get some time (I have a selfish new baby) and get back.

Success! errr..sort of.
Prior to flashing gapps I was able to reboot into CWM. Thank you so much for your help!
Still having the same issue with setup manager after factory reset and wipe of all cache.
If anyone has a work around or another suggestions for CM9 on the NC I'd much appreciate it.
Thanks again.
