Ok, I will try to digest everything you've said when I get to the office. Its 
almost 8:00 am here in the Philippines and my work starts at 9:00. Still I'm 
not sure what to tell my boss later when I told him yesterday to just give me a 
day to process all the flows not realizing I would encounter such problem. :-(

Thanks Ed! You've been a great help..
More power to the open source community! =)
