Well,

to conclude this thread, I would have to
say thank you everyone, especially you
Mel! I've made all the necessary changes
to my code (as Melanie suggested) and
it worked like a charm! I had a few minor
bugs in the code as well but I've managed
to sort 'em out. I appreciate your help...

Sincerest regards,
