Thanks Richard. Wise words as usual. I work in the NYC subway system for one of the car manufacturers. All of the new cars have multiple computer guided software systems. I know for an absolute fact that by trying to change just one parameter in a software system can bollix up the whole works. My company and our subcontractors had to hide parts of our software from NYC transit, because when they try to "tweak" the system the whole damn train can be down for the better part of several days until we can find the problem. I've gotten to the point where my motto is "If I didn't design the S/W than I ain't gonna mess with it"

NaCl(like I said there are people who I can pay to fix a problem and I'd rather pay them a little than a lot)H2O
