Well.....not all in one project. But....... I could try that. ;) Yes, these baby steps will help me explain a few upcoming projects. Being new to to this site I had no idea they would attract any attention, let alone get featured. So it goes. Anyway, this one was for you!

Thanks for the solution that will streamline the next project!
