Steve, HEH My first experience with the 'coven' did not elicit a positive response. I wanted a toggle button. I tried to get the 'coven' to understand what I wanted - NO positive response - almost no answers. I submitted my idea of a toggle file I could not get the compile. The plethora of immediate answers are summed up on the phrase "What the hell is that!". That was actually one of the answers but it encompassed all the answers well. BUT!!!! within 30 minutes the 'coven' sent me the correct toggle file. They were helping someone who was trying to do it by himself and ran into a problem. This happens all the time from the 'coven'. thanks Stuart
