Paul perhaps I need to add some ballast to this post so that it does not blow away into the overquoting area. I really had nothing else to add to the post and this filler adds nothing at all except enough text to avoid the lameness filter, without resorting to ASCII art. Actually, it should no longer be referred to as ASCII art as the charset used is most certainly no longer US7ASCII. That should be long enough. -- //www.freelists.org/webpage/oracle-l
