Rob, Kenneth many thanks to both of you for your input.

Kenneth  "SQL is very non-prejudice and will give you an answer to exactly what you have asked, not what you thought you asked ' mean that SQL has a very Feminine outlook. I once had a wife who always insisted that she was answering the question I asked, not what I thought I had asked. Its hard to argue with that type of logic.

Thanks again to both of you especially Rob.

Mike
