Hey Cheesgui, thanks for the reply, I'll give that a try.


Hey oko1, also thanks for the reply. That looks pretty simple to do, I'll definatly give that a try and see how it goes... Thanks.


Hello GrandFather, thanks for the knowledge! I know it was a little messy but it was more or less just a test script that I wrote on the fly just to see how it would work... But I will take your fixes and add them before I transfer it over to the actual script.
You said don't call subs using '&'... Is that just an older way of doing it?
Also, what do you mean by "Don't use prototype subs"..?


Again, thanks everybody for your suggestions!

Thanks,
Matt
