Thanks Thomas! I got it now. I also had a small issue with the mission file config upper and lower sections but I got it figured out. I'm not a programmer at all or anything close to that, and I've been away from running arma servers for about 5 years so I'm a bit rusty! It is coming back though...
Thank you again!
****Spoke too soon. Still not working. I'll continue to work on it. ~ my bad, I was testing it outside safe zone. Once trader was setup and inside zone, all works.
