Hi Dimitris,
as you might know there are many roads to rome :-)

BTW speaking of simplicity. I myself must admit
that over 95% of your code presented has been very 
hard to understand for me. No comments, no indendation etc.

And: I would like to remind you that ABtool is still in the beta phase.
I'm sure that there are many other problems which can be
solved only by the use of ABtool (or another such tool).
It is of course your own choice and freedom not to use ABtool,
and I doubt you would understand its power, because it
is at the moment aimed mainly for programmers only, as
was also written some msgs before (see my reply to IVA GmbH).

Dimitris, I don't think you have the right to critize something 
you even don't have tried yet. Are you criticizing the code/method
posted below or the ABtool plugin? As said: don't use it and be happy.

UM
