Thanks for the responses - Bruce Chambers and Wesley Vogel - I am learning
about this issue myself now.
The information - both linked as well as spelled out - have been extremely
informative! I will be passing on this info as well as some local input to

I find these newsgroups extremely helpful and informative. All of you MVPs
are doing a wonderful job.
Regards and thanks again.
