I'm attaching my responses to the requirements you wrote, Thomas I'm thrilled there is more interest here than I had thought. I haven't even digested your comment here yet, just wanted to get my responses posted to hold up my end here. Will gladly consider all thoughts on how we should proceed here. Thanks much to all. I never expected this much when I walked in here. I definitely want to take this as far as it can go. Andy
