Thanks ron. I did loom at your utility. However, the problem there is that I
need something I can private lable completely without anyones name all over
it.
Also, I want to be able to provide members with several popups by category
so that I can branch into a coupole hundred domains. I suppose I could
create an html front end with the categories and then have then click thru
to different copies of your script?
Anyway that's my initial thoughts
Thanks
