Gotta say the level of response on this problem has been amazing! Some really interesting information has been brought to light that I'm sure I will find useful again in the future.... although I never made the request to solve this problem, I would like to extend my thanks to you all for the input on this....
Nothing is better than a group of like-minded people helping eachother out with their problems.
