See? This is why we practice posting. Erudite as it is, forgive my big 'ol rant posted by mistake - it was in the buffer :rolleyes: This does let me play a bit more with vB code though - go [here](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=24064) to put it all in context.

Have a fantabulous day.
