Hi John, So did you accomplish your goal? Many times listers ask for help and others make suggestions, but when the original poster does not convey final results of all suggestions, this prevents the list from learning and increasing the overall pool of knowledge. Posting a final outcome is also useful in that others can save the message for later use which cuts down on the list having to answer the same question over and over every couple of weeks. <Smile>.
