Your suggestion sounds like an excellent idea to me Patrick (I presume you read
my earlier posting regarding the problems I was encountering, but my suggested
solution wasn't as elegant).
Let me know if/when you plan to proceed. I may be able to assist to some degree
if you want (a day or two over the next couple of weeks). Unfortunately I've a 4
month old daughter and a hectic deadline to be met at the end of this month.
If you want to contact me directly can you please send to both of these
addresses:

Thanks,
