John..

You are a bud.... BUT....

It is clear that you did not test the code I posted. Rather, you relied on the help docs. And, while the help docs were not incorrect, they were not complete either.. You got bit in the butt on this..

Unfortuantely, many people rely on the help files...including some noteable book authors that have frequented the UT lately..< bg >.. The point is simple, you need to actually test and run the code. Many folks don't do this.. And, I know this is not representitive of your posts...

You can make the check out to Main Line Software, Inc....< bg >
