I would gave to agree with Curtus then, if the code i show above doesn't work on the YEUD field then it's probably above my knowledge.  So, sorry, but I can't offer anything more, hopefully someone else can help you out.

i did grab the code myself, not that I have an immediate need to do what you are trying to do, but it might be something I can use in the future.  Nice little utility (at least with my data).
