Sorry about the "Type-O" Steve,  I'm glad Harvey and Yngvi noticed it.
I have been running test all afternoon with this.....looks great!
It has also given me a few ideas to try, I will share these with you 
if any of them work out. 
Thanks for sharing your formulas,
                                      Adam
