Sure, there is no reason to use the 404 page anymore... nor modrewrite. This is because the newer versions of webdna have a pre-parse capability. I haven't actually done this yet, but I don't foresee any issues in doing it. I *have* done this using ModRewrite. P.S., there is one bug that I know of however... but not sure of which versions/platforms it may effect. Also, I'm not exactly sure of the bug off the top of my head. :-).. but it has something to do with the textarea I think.. in other words, create your pre-parse scripts (in globals) in the the pre-parse file in a text editor and don't add them with the on-line textarea. I believe I sent that bug report to SMSI quite a while back and I believe thats what it was... but its been a long time now! Donovan -- =o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o DONOVAN D.
