So long as any of it helps John you're very welcome. :-) When you do get back to it you may want to see if there's been a beta3 released. Something tells me the beta versions will come fast and furious for a while and if there is the problems (most of them anyway) with beta1 and beta2 will be gone. The ones reported anyway. Then there will be new things to break. <g> Holler and see what the rest of us have busted. It may save you some time. LOL Have fun "away" John!
