Apparently you consider cluttering this list with a venomous opinion which no one is interested in hearing as a better way of spending your time, rather than offering anything constructive. How do you know the poster hasn't already made an attempt to solve the problem? Not all of us are oh so smart as you, and use these lists to try and obtain help for problems which have stymied us. This is a much better use of the list than the one which you are using. Maybe this question is beneath your contempt, but I for one would have been interested in a solution, and I am sure there are many more like myself. If you consider it a waste of your time to provide an answer to questions such as these, then please do us all a favor by going one step further by considering it a waste of your time in making a reply of any kind. -- Walter Brameld Microsoft: Where do you want to go today?
