John,
I am sorry I misunderstood your message (I have 2 big projects open, the telephone rings every 10 min, I have tons of paper work to do, so I am not careful in reading the messages, sorry). I re-read your message and see what you mean. You are of course correct. Therefore I need to rethink my approach. Thank you very much.
