I was confused though, because I thought it could be done as I succesfully transferred other variables. Turned out all those variables were transported inside a FORM, which does get recognized across multiple instances of the script. I'll have a look at documents on session management, thanks for the advice! -- Imar de Vries - I.O.deVries@students.let.uu.nl - ICQ 6972439
