Hi, Dennis. I really like your serial number script, that is really great!
I would be interested in knowing how to do this in private mail. Beware
though, I solve problems for other people for a living and create a few of
my own when trying to fix them,<smile> but if this involves programming I'm
e neophyte. The only thing I've done so far is SQL to write queries in
Access.<smile>
