Thanks for the reply. I have a similar workaround, but I do consider it a
'workaround'. If we
find that a significant number of users are doing things like this, then that tells me

'built-in' approach would be more appropriate. Maybe this is not the case though...
if I'm the
only one doing this, then there's certainly no need to build it into the framework ;)
