Awesome, thanks! Thank you for your continued interest in this subject, regardless of whether I said that I had a workable solution and moved on. It's very comforting that someone cares so much that they would keep adding to a seemingly dead issue. I'm sure that is a valuable trait to have in some situations. Not everyone would keep up that level of attention. Again, thanks for your help with this.
