Thanks for clearing all that up Mike!

Now I have a much much better understanding of how you look at because it does 
make much more sense. I think now when I go to modify it in a few weeks I will use the 
addresses database style and whatever/however I implement it I will post it on the list 
and maybe that could be a starting point for someone else.

Thanks,
