Hmmmmm good point..... But, you should be able to do something like window.opener.name.... but check to make sure it's not null....
But now that I think of it, maybe the other method would be best.... assigning values from the child window to hidden form fields on the main..... at least I can see how that would work properly, but it DOES take a bit more coding up front... Let me know what you come up with, I can see us needing something like that here right quick.... Shawn Grover -----Original Message----- From: Neil H.
