Thank you Bill for a helpful and, more importantly, informative reply. I
think this will not only help me to solve my problem but, even better,
help me to understand where I was going wrong.

As before, I don't have access to the machine right now, so i will try
when I get home to work through this and get it right.

I will once again report back later...

Thanks again. Your help is much appreciated.
