Thank you very much, Roger.  I found this link 
(http://snippets.dzone.com/posts/show/3276) which it looks like you had 
a part in as well and just got that code working shortly after posting 
this thread.  But looking into ActionPool, it definitely offers expanded 
functionality so I will probably implement that solution instead.

Cheers!
