Hi jay,

Many thanks for the advice and sorry its taken so long to respond. I can see
your solution working but I am not sure how I can append
$2nd_form_var_prefix to the existing vars without manually adding this to
each one. I guess id have to get everything into an array? My boss/client
wishes to have both forms displayed simultaneously, PITA! So that
considered, maybe ill just have to have 2 separate forms.

Thanks again for your help
