eddwel,

I am sure that this can be coded because there are many brilliant coders on this forum willing to help.

However, as I see this is your first post and as the thread starter, I'm obligated to inform you that the forum is about sharing. You are probably going to have a tough time finding someone to tackle this problem without a starting point. At the very least the coder is going to have to see your existing code structure to formulate a solution.

If there is any hint that your request could be profit motivated, then it is a service you...
