got it working in just a few hours. its working like a freaking charm. thanks for putting me on the right path.

its not that difficult but its also something you will not do very often so i am sure you have to revisit it everytime you set up a new app.

Not a problem, glad you got it work. I find the tutorial example to be a good starting point. Like you say, you don't start a new project every day so it does take some time to get your head round it all. Starting a project from scratch isn't fun! Why bother just take the sample and hack it into something you want. Good luck with it all!
