@RudiC, much appreciated.
Your comment on this not being the best approach is not surprising ;-)... I continue to try and improve my efforts but due to my skill level, usually start with functionality. I will investigate your suggestion of associative arrays.
Any high level example of how to better do what I'm trying with associative arrays?
Thanks again..
