You are the man Jeff D and I am pleased to say: Thank you.

It could have taken me another age to find why it wasn't working, and now 
because of your knowledge time is saved and it works just as you said. :-)

I am only sorry to relate that my cat loves the music off the Bat out of Hell 
album, not techno......... :-)

Thank you,
Charlie
