Hi,

I realised what Randy was trying to say about 5 minutes after I stepped
away from my computer (I often think best away from it). Apologies for
being short with you Randy, I understand what you were trying to say now.,
thank you for your help

Thank you to Ian and Matma for your explanations also.

Cheers,
Tom
