Hi
You guys are wonderful.
Thanks to you guys, several days of hair pulling and bashing my head against
the wall has come to an end now.
This exactly what I was looking for and will try it out. More than that, I
just realized that there could be other functions like "BarsSince" which
with a bit of imagination could be used for complex issues. (Back to the
manuals).
Thanks again
Regards
Siva
