Hi Dan,

I've checked with the powers that be...they gave me the okay to post these items for everyone's usage.

I should have them in the Files section by the end of the week at the latest.

This could EASILY be made into a small DLL where the form was called with a method and the resulting keyed string was stored in a property for use by whatever could see the DLL.
