Oh, yes, that clarified *everything*! <tongue-in-cheek> Man, my head hurt after reading that one, Charles! <g> Based on someone else's pointer on "NP complete", I found the following link that seemed to be very specific to the problem I was attempting to solve: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subset_sum_problem All of this was interesting reading (!?!?!), but after such a long time, I am far enough removed from all those high-level mathematics courses that I'd have to do a serious review of the textbooks I kept from way back when.
