Hi! Thank you for your response. I have also thought about that but felt it was a kludge. I have browsed the [EMAIL PROTECTED] archives and found several related topics. Some of the suggestions were even made by you. :) I should have checked it first before posting here. I'll try doing some of the suggestions and get back to you if I found something that worked or found none that did.
Thanks.
