Andy,
Thanks for this. I havent replied to newsgroup because somehow I have
sent two copies of the email. OOps!! so to avoid problems I replied to
the reply from Mark (in the other copy ) as he wanted to know If I was
making the software available which I am. However I greatly appreciate
the code I was anticipating something far more complex.
Regards
Alan
