The last thing I need is some kind of WebCat limit that prevents me from entering the whole chapter at one time.If there's any possibility whatsoever that WebCat is imposing a limit on this, then I need to know that information ASAP.Earlier you said WebCat does NOT impose any limits, and now it looks like you're saying you're not sure if WebCatalog itself is set up to go past 32K. I don't know what to believe about this, and maybe I'm misunderstanding something, so please, can you tell me the absolute facts here?I'll have to rewrite the whole interface if it's a WebCat limitation, and if that's what I need to do to make this work, then I will deal with it. I just need to know what's really going on here so I can deal with it from the beginning the next time ...Sincerely, Ken Grome WebDNA Solutions
