Ten seconds down, and there's your answer. Your question was reasonably well thought-out and phrased - you're halfway there. Go the other half - try it yourself as I did, and if there's still something (like an error message) you don't understand, post the code AND the result when you tried it. It only takes an extra minute, and it gets you a LOT more credit here. Cut, Copy, and Paste are your friends. -- www.fsrtechnologies.com
