Sorry Xen; there was no intention to steal your thunder. It happens
OFTEN in this list that someone posts the the same advice as an earlier
poster. In my case it sometimes happens because of how long it takes me
to write the email! By the time I hit "send" three other people have
answered...

Several people offering similar answers is not always bad. The
recipient can "get the message" better, or choose from different
methods of achieving the same thing. But it's not always going to be
clear to the recipient that the answers are technically equivalent.

I doubt there was any malice in the OP's choice of which solution to
apply, nor in his choice of whom to thank.

So untwist your knickers and smile - collectively we have solved
someone's problem, and that's a good thing.

Regards, K.
