Thanks for your input -- the code I provided left alll of the error checking
you recommended out but it is there.
I gather from your message that nothing is going to happen unless I
logically engage the submit function.
Is there no why to do this otherwise -- I am surprised the exchange of hthl
variables and php variable is so circuitous
Again thanks.
