I would do what I always do. I would take a perfectly working piece of code and use it as a template for my own - that is experimenting. Then, the stages of experiment are: working well, modified and working, modified more and working perfectly, modified even more and not working at all, repaired a

Hello Joel I don't think it is reasonable for you to be asking people to volunteer their time to help you answer questions for the benefit of your company/employer. There are plenty of consultants who would be more than pleased to provide you with what you need to know for a fee. Darren Jo
