Hi

Thanks for the suggestion worked a treat after a bit of fiddling around. I
dont know if i did it exactly right but its working for how i want. 

I've done diff on the files just on the off chance its any use, To be honest
I've not got much idea what I'm doing really so it could be quite messy. 

Thanks for the help!
