Tony, It does make it rather difficult when perhaps the fix to a person's problem does lie in a product that just happens to be sold by the answerer. I, personally, liked your little demo and showed it to a few people out here. Was it an ad? That's questionable because it does contain advertising material but also some good instruction. I know when someone sends a blatant ad or not so I can delete it if I wish. However, sometimes I find a little nugget of information I was looking for even in the ads. I expect them on a list like this where you have a variety of users that also build products for sale. Jerry
