Bernd, Thanks for the information. I looked at doing exactly what you described, however, there is a variable in the URL, $RCE, that I have no idea what to populate it with. Also, it appears to me that they also pass the login credentials in the URL, ?credentials=NCCcredentials. Do you know how to resolve those two items? Thanks Daryl
