Hi Atro: It's been a very long time since I've heard from you. Glad you are still visiting and participating here.
By the way, thanks for your precision and clarity. Thanks also Richard for your contribution. I'm working on multiple problems currently so I'm going to have to return to this problem of mine at a different time. Thanks for your efforts. Sincerely, Derick.
