At the risk of prolonging this thread even further, I must write in and say
that your post marks you out as one of the mature and responsible users of
these VB newsgroups.
Clarence, your questions indicated that you did not bother to do the minimum
research on your problems. How will you improve your programming skills if
you don't make your own mistakes and learn from them? We are here to share
problems, not to write programs for one another. Take note from people like
{*filter*} Harrison, VB Joker and Kathleen and you will learn a great deal.
All the best.
