Then, the command you tried above will work just fine.

AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHAA!
I would never have thought of that as I have access to those.

But I know better now. Thanks p_quarles
Another point to files away in my ever growing tips and tricks. :)

Yea, like the first line of my sig has said since day one of being here.

If is wasn't for the [Search] Button, there'd probably be a hundred more questions from me. :lolflag:

Thanks again
CHIMO!

I should have looked at this a little close too.

I'm going to file this away as well, and "test" it some time.

Thanks for the tip.
