md,
I finally got the thing to work. Hurray...

Apparently I was not paying attention to my naming convention. Beginners mistake. The basic plan I envisioned is taking shape. I think I am going to close this thread for now and let me play around a while and try and digest the concepts that have been laid out here. I have been reading and can follow about half of what is going on. I need to experiment a little and then should be better suited to ask more questions in a few days/weeks..

Thanks for all that helped on this post. The concepts laid out were the key to keep me pointed in the right direction. My code may not be the most compact, but it works and isn't that the key to all of this...

Thanks again to all ,
Butch
