Ali,

Thank you ... yes!  This is exactly what I needed, I have done 
something
similar as you have shown for the "getter", but had a 
"brain-lock-up"
when thinking about the setter.

A bit embarassing for my, I admit.  But, on the positive side ... 
the
solution is now burned into my brain.

Thanks again and Kind Regards,
James
