Hilmar,

thanks, that is the functionality I would like to have, I haven't managed to get Marcia's code to run yet (I'm waiting on some additional files), I don't think it will work like this but before I go through with developing this functionality I'd like to see Marcia's code run and then decide if it will be worth the time invested to do it my way.
