Hi Rich,

thank you so much for the clear and concise information you supplied to me, I
really appreciate the time and effort involved.

It's been grandson weekend and with four of them, i did not get a chance to
implement your suggestions, but will do soon.

I have upgraded to 2.8.22, so thank you for that.

Once again, thanks for all your efforts 


Regards



Cameron
