I discovered the [math] limitation a while ago. But this the first time I've run up against a text variable. I= have an admin area editing page where a formvariable is named based on something else, and that something else is= user-definable in the user's settings. The situation where it comes into play is not used very often, and it's not a= fatal break, so I only discovered it today. Grant... you still tuned in here? What's the maximum length for a text va= riable name?
