>Thanks for your input. I will have to look into that.

I wanted to spend some time to see if my idea will work, but ran short of time today. However, my general idea is that if you implement it yourself you can create indexers that works with strings and integers. It might be more bother than you want.

Another possiblity is to use a hashtable, but I'm even vaguer about that. <s>
