I found all these nodes through the search function, located on the bar underneath the Ad at the top of your browser.

It is generally good form to search before you ask a question. It not only prevents obnoxious responses, but will generally get you your answer faster.

You may also want to look at the node Before you post....

Thanks for your help. sorry i didn't search before i posted. was in a little bit of a hurry to leave work when i posted. i should have known better. Thnx for the nodes though. much appreciated.

On another note, grep was more than kind enough to provide you with some links, which you should have stumbled accross yourself. That is why I implore you to read Before You Post ..., which grep points you to, In addition to reading How to RTFM. You'll get answers a lot faster this way, and you'll be more independant, marketable....

I really do mean to sound like a broken wheel, but

everybody needs to know How to RTFM.
