Thansk, everyone for your help,
Given my timeframe, (a couple of weeks) and the nature
of my application (batch conversion routine), I'm

I've never done it before. Any suggestions on where I
could quickly learn how to do it?
I searched the archive, but didn't come up with
anything concrete...
Thanks!
Jason
