Your suspicions are correct! If you have one of the more recent distributions of PHP then you will either need to amend the php.ini file: register_globals = On or, use the 'newer' way to access global variables. Don't worry, this change is turning others of us schizoid too! Regards, =dn --- Incoming mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).
