I had hoped to use POST instead of GET, however -- i didn't want to pass the information via the URL. To make the issues more clear (assuming everyone's not totally burned out thinking about this one), I will submit links to working, example code in a followup post. I'm swamped with a proposal i'm working on for my 'day' job, however -- so stay tuned. thanks for all of the insights/assistance! -Durwood
