hullo there...i'm not mude and mude is not me...;) we do have the same problem and we are working on the same problem..i made the post first since mude was busy doing the script...and my concern was a bit different from his since he already made a script while me on the other hand have not started making the script yet..that was why i asked for some wisdom on which approach is best for the problem at hand..;) thanks for the help..
