Thanks for all the answers to this thread. I just have to say, where were you all when I gave up and handcoded this junk this weekend? Doesn't everybody work all night and all weekend? LOL
I was under a tight deadline so I did what I had to to make it work. I think in a few weeks when I have more time I'm going to use one of your looping suggestions. This looks like much cleaner code than what I did.
