Again,thanks for the help and sorry about the mistake(s). . .No, I'm sure if the code is "10,000" lines no one want it posted no matter what site. However, mine wasn't 10,000 lines it was a relatively small piece of code, that's why I posted it. I've been admonished on S.O. for NOT posting entire code before. Of course what I've posted in the past has been relatively short examples.

No, I don't need any further help as far as the direct question goes. It was a question I should've easily figured out myself. Unfortunately due to long work hours and me doing this in the middle of the night, I got lazy. I would like to figure out how to code this better , but haven't had time to look at your links (examples) closely yet (which is greatly appreciated).

Anyways, I thought I was doing the right thing by posting all of it. You live and you learn. I know better now, lol. Thanks to all for the help.
