Maybe he could do the work in two steps, so he doesn't have to do the prefect solution the first time.Meanwhile I have done some work letting WebSiphon validate form entries and then behind the curtains POST the entries to WebCatalog. It works, but puts unnessecary (IMHO) load on the server.You could also produce this with embedded [APPLESCRIPTS]. MacOS 8.5 is supposed to have native Applescript so this combined with better threading in WC 3.0 maybe makes this useful.But, of course, this *should* be handled native by WebCatalog. ************************************************************* Christer Olsson Stora Nygatan 21 Phone +46 40 791 50 Art director S-211 37 Malmoe Fax +46 40 97 99 77 Ljusa Ideer AB Sweden http://www.ljusaideer.se
