Thanks, but server side scripting is not possible. It needs to be implemented in html or on the client side.. I am outputting an HTML file from my app, and since it will be user configurable (users decide the format of the output), they need to be able to decide when to use the alternating colors, and they won't have access to an interpreter or compiler, except for those in the web browser.. I want to make it as simple as possible, so I will probably just use a sqlite user defined function, if that will do the trick.. Thank you for your input though. Randall Fox
