That's a coincidence, we just got a new dog called Max

That's what I thought. Of course, scattering completely unnecessary bits of code every few lines is only going to lead to confusion for people. And I know you wouldn't want that.

If you were to ask any beginner (or probably intermediate either) whose code from the examples above they'd rather work with, yours or mine, I'd be confident of the answer, even though yours is more efficient. Due to your use of obscure coding.

I'm going to have to sign off for the year. Thanks once again; yourself, Charles, Andrew, Paul and Greg Mayor; you've helped me out on a number of occasions over the last months when frustration and confusion got the better of me
