Is there a common way to say this. If not thats ok too. I cant think of a way to say it with my limited Japanese knowledge.
Thanks for any help.

Don't mention it? As in "you're welcome?".
-If the thank you was really heartfelt and deep... then I'll reply with douitashimashite
-If the thank you was a courtesy thank you then I'll just say "hai" or not say anything.
Anyway... not sure if this is the proper way... but my Japanese friends don't feel the need to correct me on these points nor do they respond awkwardly so it should be OK if you do as I do.
Don't worry too much about small things like this dude during conversation... just say what you think you should... and if it's wrong it's wrong and you'll be corrected or you'll get a confused stare (or email) back in return haha
