TJ: Thank you. The code that I wrote "online" was ctaken from memory. I neglected to include any lock-downs. Which brings me to a point that I'm not certain about -- and has been discussed before -- which is -- When does one lock down handles? Any one got a _simple_ "rule of thumb" as to when to lock handles? tedd ___________________________________________________________________ <mailto:tedd@...> http://sperling.com/
