Guys,

Sorry that I was MIA last night. Had a lot of work to do after hours at one
of our main clients. My wife called me while I was there to let me know
that our Internet connection was not working and I just now fixed it.

Anyway, I might explore the Restricted Groups method. I posted the link in
my reply to Herb. Here is it again just in case...

It might be a way to resolve this for you without having to go through my
first suggestion....Herb is right in that can be very tedious and ugly, even
if you were to use ldifde to help you....
