Greolt,
Thanks for the link, I can't wait to try it out. 

Vmax, I agree that Mach3 is a steal still at it's current price, I'm just kicking myself for waiting so long to buy the licensed copy that it had time to increase in price.  Rick's program is a good deal as well for all of the extra's it now includes but untill I upgrade to the full version I am still restricted to the 150 lines of code.  I have been getting around this by writing alot of macro programs.  I don't make any money writing code nor do I have time to dedicate to mastering all aspects of it.  If chips aren't flying we're not eating. -Mike
