Max, The beauty of the list is that you ask a question and get a whole slew of different methods of doing something, presenting a slew of opportunities to learn new stuff. When you posted your solution I did not attack it as a hangman's noose. To a hangman, every knot will do the job. ;) Your solution does a fine job for the stated task, and apparently (from his comments) your solution is about all the OP is able to assimilate anyway. I just find it sad that a solution other than your own is by definition a hammer. John W.
