Thank you,

P.S. I've search the forums for other helpful answers to my original question without luck.

To address your 'How to get help' issue, I will make these comments and this qualifying statement. First, my opinion is not the be-all and end-all of how one should express himself in writing. I tend to get very wordy and have to watch myself.

For me, the presentation of your problem is too wordy and too jumbled, requiring too much work on my part to follow the problem through. I tend to try to help those who are more brief and easy to follow.

When I present a problem here, I tend to labor over it and edit it as much as possible and group it into appropriate paragraphs--and keep it as short as possible and still get the necessary information in.

This is just my opinion stated frankly and is intended only to help and is certainly not intended to insult or hurt anyone's feelings. If it has done so, I apologize; it was not intended that way.

Now, take your link back to your original problem. I have posted a suggestion there.

Thanks Alex and embarrassingly I spent quite a while putting together my question but your suggestions make a LOT of sense. I'll follow up via the original thread.
