Fair enough. In fact that often happens to me; I implement something in a clever way at first, then when it's time to clean up and refactor I see that I was being *too* clever and rewrite it much more straightforwardly. I guess that means I'm clever, but meta-stupid (for being too clever), but meta-meta-clever (for noticing when I'm being meta-stupid). I think I'll quit there while I'm ahead! :-) Regards, Jeremy Henty
