well, it's easy to miss the point when the example you use doesn't make the point you think you're making. :D but ok, yes, it would be nice to send directly to something like 1brmlab from the client. i suppose figuring out how to make sure that 1brmlab actually does send to whom you think it sends, is left to the details of implementation, but that's a separate question. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Systems Optimization Self Assessment Improve efficiency and utilization of IT resources.
