Brian,
Thank you!
I dumped the website comps onto my personal server and it works
flawlessly. Seems like the setup here at work must have a bug on the
server side somewhere.
Hmm, guess it is time to have the developer look at the server code.
This could be a nightmare now.
Thanks for the help though.
