Thanks for the suggestion ;) I think this will fix my problem. But I
am trying to figure out how I am going to work this into my code since
I am loading data from a database. It could get "messy". Any ideas ?
I like to be as efficient as possible and there is nothing worse then
a mess. (At least to me anyway).
Thanks,
Diilb
