Processing to run against each highlighted line of a browse lookup

[James Flanagan]

Thank you all for your responses.  After reviewing all of the submissions here, I am going to test each recommended concept and determine which is the best fit for what I am trying to do.  I reserve the right to ask additional questions regarding this as I attempt to program it out.  Thank you all very much….
