Tim,

Thanks for your comments about my english. I'm an Argentine guy, I use to
speak spanish outside work. You know the cuntry, same latitude of Australia,
on the other side of the world :).
Ok, I will check the examples and do all the modification. As soon as I have
it all ready I will go back to you.

Regards,
Daniel
