Thanks alot Shambler . Been real busy this week and haven't had a chance to fiddle with any code . I did run it tho and its doing what I was trying to do alot better than mine did, more flexable. When I was working on the org. code I was trying to figure out how to set a stop variable. You answered that for me. Sometimes I don't know the right questions to ask and its can be frustrating. I have to remember I have to tell it how to do everything. thanks again.
