Hi, I am aware of this, but explaining my problem in this case would take me

Forgive me if I misunderstand, but it seems like you are willing to
trade off an hour at the beginning of the project at the expense of
perhaps many hours of pain later on. Has this thread not already taken
more than an hour?
I find that often if I have a weird question, just taking the time to
formulate and write a good descriptive post to explain the problem
helps me understand why I'm going at it the wrong way to start with.
I remember years ago being faced with the same problem you now have.
It turned out that the most elegant solution was to change the design
so that I didn't need to solve the problem at all.

I agree with Torben.
Quite often when I formulate a question for this
group, the answer appears before I send the
question. One needs to fully understand the
problem themselves and preparing the right
question helps in finding a solution.
Of course, you can do like so many others do and
just don't worry about it -- expose your
ignorance to the group and hope for some magical
code. Despite my own advice, I've done that
several times. That works too, but has it's
downside.
Cheers,
tedd
