I have written so few complete programs that I have never really learned to deal with all this stuff (yet). Half my code base lives in FN specific demo's just to see if I can come up with an algorithm. >BTW -- good job of presenting >the problem. Thanks. I think that is a first for me. Demo I think about it, demo I like it though. <g> Robert
