Hey thanks for the tip P1. Heck, I've been surfing the net for six years and I didn't even know about this one! I'm afraid I'm not very adventurous when it comes to exploring software.

This is the technique I'll be using from now on - not only at this site, but at others where I've had similar problems. You've just made my online life SOOO much simpler P1 - you don't know how much!
