Hi, thanks for the posts. Sadly, the first proposed solution doesn't appear to be correct. Tony, your posts did not give mea solution although I really appreciate the lovely CAD diagram. Would you or anyone else out there happen to have the solution? I would really like to know how to solve this seeamingly simple problem that has vexed me no end.

Cheers.dizzy
