ja, wonderfull work Richard and I was surprised how little code it actually took you to do it - thought it would have been bigger. not sure i like the 11122233 mask thingy though, while it may be the most flexible method, it's not the most intuitive. think i like the XXX999AAA$$$ thingy more. don't have to think about it too much.
