Thank you peter, Could you please tell me what version of mathematica you are using. When I try to implement your suggestion it gives me a "tdep" error--The equation appears to involve variables to be solved in a an essentially non-algebraic way. I am using 5.0.0 and I have tried the equation in 4.0.0 also unsuccessfully.
