Hi Jim,

That code looks to me as if its on the right lines for what l am
trying to achieve but l suspect l will have to do quite a bit of
'playing around'

The link you gave for the Script help file should as you say prove
invaluable. I have looked for help re VBScript / Scripting in general
and there doesn't seem to be a lot of info about it. It would be great
if it could be referenced via the Object Browser.

I may not get around to using your ideas / code for a couple of days
but will repost to keep you updated.

Again many thanks for your help

Regards

Michael
