Oops! :) Blew that one. Actually, the first part of my answer might have been *almost* correct if I hadn't restricted it to hashes and if I didn't, for some boneheaded reason, describe it as trying to 'access' something. Clearly, I am smoking crack. I'll just put the pipe down and step away from the keyboard now :) Cheers, Curtis "Ovid" Poe ===== Senior Programmer Onsite!
