Thanks for the response, and sorry for the confusion. After I sent it I
realized I should have edited out your comment, because my comments
were meant for the OP. I know you are experienced, so I wouldn't be
giving you tips or advice unless you asked for it. :-) But, glad you
got some value out of them.
