Thank you BrowserUK. In one of my posts I talked about this running as a service, but I guess I didn't provide enough detailed information as to what that really means so it was unclear to others. This is a very complex system that has been running successfully for over 4 years. It would have taken a couple of pages of details to understand how it works so I always find it difficult when I ask what I think is a simple question and get a lecture on how to write code (something I have been doing for over 25 years). I truly appreciate posts from individuals like you who answer the question that is ask.. I believe I know how to handle this situation Thanks Again
