No problem and good luck with the Outlook stuff. Be aware that Outlook VB Scripting Edition is really a lightweight version of VB Script and is lacking a lot of power in some areas. In the basic version there's no native debug capability ( that makes it really fun sometimes :-) ) and various functions, etc. are not available. There are some upgrades and patches at MS that help some of the issues.
