Hi Cayzee,

I missed it, and thought your reply was directed to Erik. Thanks for letting me know.

Ramesh:
My posting was in response to cbsam's message who originally started this 
thread. He has the exact same problem as I did, hence I figured that utility 
will help him. I do agree, however, that Erik's problem is different - which 
is why I didn't reply to his message, but cbsam's.
Cheers,
Cayzee
