Hey Jacques,
Yeah I've used that before, but in this instance because the headers have
been redefined I can't really do it (check out the scripts in my
header-code file above). If I were a better programmer I could probably
modify them myself, but I don't really know how to mess with the code that
someone else made for me.
Any other thoughts?
Brent.
