thanks but that diddn't work
It is usually more helpful if you describe in what way it didn't work. For example:
- error message (what message and/or what line of code)
- did nothing.
- did the wrong thing (What, where etc)
However, in this case, I think I can see the problem (and I suspect Harry didn't test his code before posting.

)
I'll work with his and make a couple of modifications. Try this:
