Hi Lost
Thanks for the rely and the compliment!
In fact since I posted the message i seem to have worked out how to do it
using a second cookie. The first is used by the switcher and the second I
use to store the value of the memory required.
Your idea of the second table is a good one for another part of the site so
that a user can step forward and backward only through a sub set of the data
which will be obtained from a query.
Many thanks
