Sounds good...the "original" script was easy...the objects were all simple, so easy to make dynamic (just enclose in single quotes and EXECUTE...many more now, and with hard-coded XML elements, one is 600 lines long and must have 100 quoted "pieces" in it...take me days to convert to dynamic, probably mess it up anyway. Really leaning toward creating "plain", not so much error handling.

Thanks again for your assistance and wisdom,
