    Dear fredg and NeedKarma!
    First I wish to thank you for your prompt answer.
    I'd like to mention that I've already tried NeedKarma's method and it didn't work. Thank you all the same for your help.
    I must say the method mentioned in the article recommended by fredg DID THE TRICK!
    Thank you again,
    Auhva
