Thanks for your input. I certainly took no offense at any of the comments. Since I am totally new at this MS stuff, that's why I'm posting here; to try to learn more. I tend to come up with these grand ideas which when really looked at, are not practical for a variety of reasons. This is apparently one of those. I'm glad I have all of you experienced MSers to guide me. It sort of makes me feel young again, not knowing things--so thanks especially for that!
