Thanks to all who have tackled my problem. There are some very interesting approaches among the answers, and considerable food for thought. I intend to analyze them all to see what makes them tick. (I'm still a relative beginner.)

One of the simpler methods did produce a usable result, so the immediate need is resolved.

Thanks again!
