Diogenes Nov 2022 1:00pm, 24 Nov 2022 74,532 posts	0 Diogenes Thanks JCB. I struggle to be able parse all those variables and the syntax, let alone work them out for myself. I'm about 3/4 way through my manual process, but I shall try and absorb this for future reference. I shall probably have to do something similar in 2 years time, if I am still here.
