Hey thanks all for the help so far. I haven't ended up modifying my current method, as I don't think I've explained the way I have my eclectic method set up properly yet. What I have done for the comments about the horses is hijacked a column I wasn't using and have made it a "general horse comment" column.

Thanks, though, I clearly have heaps to learn re programming. I would LOVE the time to learn it, it seems fascinating.

Duritz.

Duritz,

Whatever works for you is fine.

In fact, many more proficient programmers frown upon my way of doing things, as it's not "normal", however, it works for me, and I don't have the time to learn all the intricasies - as long as the result is what I'm after, then I'm happy.

Feel free to ask later if you have questions or ideas.
