Ooops I think it might be the url thingy. forgot to do that. Will give it a go and see what happens. Thanks a ton Grant and Ken for the fast responses. This new version is so fantastic.

Have a wish list of about 10 new data bases to create already and have only been playing for a few days with 2.0 beta.=============================================== Gary Richter, President PanaVise Products, Inc. 7540 Colbert Dr. Reno, Nevada 89511 Ph: 702.850.2900 Fx: 702.850.2929 Email: grichter@panavise.com http://www.panavise.com =============================================== ------------------------------------ To leave this talk list send an email to macjordomo@smithmicro.com with BODY unsubscribe WebDNA-Talk ------------------------------------ Associated Messages, from the most recent to the oldest:
