My last comment was intended to justify the posting of this message on AccessD list AccessD is primarily a list about Microsoft Access Developement and other topics related to Access somehow. While you have presented a fine challenge, it seems a bit off topic for the AccessD list. Perhaps you should take it to the OT list? This is the kind of thing that is supposed to be done on that list.
