Thanks to everyone who sent me ideas and helpful hints to my header question. I got a lot of good ideas and some up coming features in jaws version 7 which sound exciting and sound like the features there will do exactly what I was hoping to accomplish. So I think I'll wait for version 7 to come out and proceed from there. Thanks again for all your ideas. It's nice to have knowledgeable people like you folks to call on when in need of help. Tippy
