Well, the idea is not to *require* a form to be filled out, or even that the whole form be filled out. If you supply sufficient information, there is no need for a form. For those who don't supply anything useful (and there seem to be a lot -- maybe 20-30% of the requests) one suggestion is to send them a form and request them to fill it out. It seems to me that is much easier for users to accept than being sent to the Support page. Whether or not it would really work is another question ... -- Best regards, Kern ("> /\ V_V Using Tomcat but need to do more? Need to support web services, security?
