Thank you very much for these comments and code - I have been trying to do something similar in VB .net for some time with no luck.

Thanks!

Great ending for the thread.It couldn't have been "scripted" any better.Another person benefits from the same thread.
gdijim], great that you found it helpful.I've been working on this for a while too and visited many forums.This place though tops them all because the help was right there, right away thanks to moderators like Killer42. By the way,I found the article you mentioned and will probably make use of it.

Thanks again

Thanks, it's good to see such positive feedback. I think we're all here because we're developers who have needed help with programming problems at some time, and stuck around to give something back.

Of course, not everyone gets an immediate (or indeed any) answer to their questions. Now and then we just don't have the answer, or the person who does know may be offline for a while. That's why it's important that as many people as possible get involved, and share their experience.
