Don. as you are no doubt painfully aware right now, I'm sure no I
T/scripting Diva myself, but it occurs to me that maybe if you were to put
some of your present code before the list again, and painstakingly remind us
of exactly what it is your trying to achieve, how your current code is
faling to do that, maybe yu might recieve more joy as to solutions?
For although of course your living and breathing the tiny ins and outs of
all your experiencing and trying to do, and so you are of course painfully
all too familiar with it, I can of course only speak for
myself when I posit,
that because many of us are facing similar battles of our own, it's easy to
forget the ongoing nuances of other's issues. So, putting them all in the
one post that your seeking further assistance on resolving, just means that
if anyone feels they might have something to throw at it, they don't have
to go trapsing through previous emails looking for the plot all over again?
... Just my two bobs worth, as they used to say in australia in the olden
days.
but don't any more. <grin.>
Geoff.
