Thanks Dan,
Unfortunately, I don't think we're going to 2.6 any time soon in our
environment. I was hoping there was something simpler and I was just
being dumb. Good news is, maybe I'm not so dumb! lol.
I'm looking at using a custom function a co-worker wrote that might
help. If it works well, I'll ask him to post it up here. I can see
that it might be useful.
