The new CDML Web-scripting language that is built into FMPro 4.0 is extremely extensive and powerful, very much on par with WebDNA. Each application (WebCat and FMPro) has its pluses and minuses, but I'm having trouble seeing how WebCatalog can be considered all that much better a solution--especially considering WebCatalog costs 10x as much!Thanks, AndrewAndrew Robulack Whitehorse, Yukon, Canada Internet Yukon Inc. http://www.yukon.net -- the largest Yukon resource!!
