I suppose I should have been more clear. Ian your example was an avery
dequate solution and would have worked nicely given my current problem,
however I was also interested in a more specific solution in case I
can't rely on the Index property in the futiure for what I need to
match. What I was originally looking for was an exact unmistakable
match. I did not make this clear. Sorry.
Thanks again.
