Tim, Thanks, I didn't even think about the possibility of a paste. Makes me glad I went ahead with the "double solution." I thought I might be over-killing it a bit, but I guess not. It always amazes me how much MORE time I spend trying to anticipate how a user can screw up a solution than actually designing the basic solution!
