Thanks Peter for helping me out,
Your Questions and suggestions are thoughts provoking and will help me every time I write a new Class. I will keep your suggestions. I am happy and amazed that Im getting help from strangers, But I got none when I approached programmers in my office....Thanks a Lot...!!!!!
