Excellent! You were giving me some great direction, and I was all ready to run out and try some of the techniques you demonstrated. Then, at the end, you left me with "when to use ... is really up to you. Use your best judgement". Now I feel like you've just thrown the whole decision process back in my lap, and I was much more comfortable when you were guiding me. Why can't there just be a best transition that I can learn and use all the time? Why can't there be a definitive approach? What ever happened to simple instructions like, "just do it this way"? Now, thanks to your tutorial, I have new tools, but I don't know which one to use when. Oh where did I put that bottle of JD? I need a drink.

Seriously, though ... great job! Thanks for the tips and ideas.

Doug
