Hey,

Thanks for your reply. I know the script has some things in it which should be removed or changed, but I first would like to make it run fine. Once achieved, I will do a cleanup action. Thanks for the comments.

Also it was indeed not necessary to place the script within this post, but I thought it would be handy to help me out.

I think I can use your script very well, I`m going to test it right away!
