Thanks to all - there are some good ideas here. But now it's Monday and back to work, so I'll have to try this when I can squeeze in time during the week.
Judy, I like your idea. I'll try it to see what happens. Jane, I thought of tagging, as you suggested, I was just wondering if there was an easier way. Rich, if Judy's idea doesn't work like I want it to, I'll certainly consider the User ID setup, although that seems like a little more than I want to bite off, unless there's an easy way to mass assign UIDs? As soon as I have time to try these ideas, I'll report back and let you know what works best for me. It seems that this is something that others might be interested in also. Thanks again to all!
