I don't know about correctness, just something I do to get the job done and move on. Now, from what I have read you have not even tried what I suggested so I really dunno what else to say. I offered you something that was a completely different option that was spelled out to you before but oh well, I do hope you get your problem fixed. jr -- If it's stupid and it works...it ain't stupid!
