@@StructuralInsights87 thanks, it worked.

Wow..Great intro on plugin..Need more of these ! Also is VBA, Python more flexible or C# ?

[@StructuralInsights87]

Thanks, Actually I stumbled upon C#, I didn't go through a binge research to find out which one is better. As far as I'm concerned, for most of the things I'm doing, VBA, Python don't make any difference
