SO I get the email, and use the link to set things up. But there's a field that isn't marked. I assume it's for email since that has to be a key component of my identifying me as the actual receiver of the gift. But that's a guess. I had some problems, maybe I didn't copy the password right or what, but each time they'd show the page and say something is wrong, but not what. I can see that being a security thing, if I was just guessing at usernames and passwords not knowing which was which means I can't work on the one that's wrong, but I was just setting this up and I didn't know what the wrong variable was. I still don't know what happened, clearing things and signing in was fine. Michael
