Good Evening Robbie,
I am using a similar if not the same code for the past 2 years.
It is part of my cfm now.

And now comes the best part.

I am using it but like you still unable to understand how and why.
Mervyn had sent me a detailed explanation which I stored safely but
still unable to code a similar hook.

Regards
Akshat
