Thanks. I'll take a look at it tomorrow. I guess I will have to write
the code. It's not much, so I'll set it up. I just don't feel like
thinking about it tonight. I've got a 2 part Mission: Impossible
episode on the DVR (one of the early ones when Barbara Bain was still
on it) so I think I'm going to go enjoy that and not think about
computer things for a short while.
Thanks for finding that for me.
I sometimes think I could create a career out of just writing macros and
such in Java and OOo BASIC for OOo.
