Please do not post the same question elsewhere in the forums (your other post was removed), and in the future please use the code tags to make your code more readable.

What is the problem/question?

This OP appears to want someone to write code for him. It'd be nice if he hired a programmer to help him.

Thanks Norm, just wondering if anyone new one call or a how too, does not seem to be be asking for someone to write anything.

'One call' to what?
'how to' what?

What coding problem do you need help with?
You've posted code without asking a question about it, other than it could be missing some feature.
