Hi Alex and Mark, Thanks both of you for your advice. I used both techniques, they both work, but I'll settle on the "split". It took me a while to figure out why it works.
I had overlooked the "warning" in the split definition in prior reading. Next time I'll pay more attention to the warnings -- better yet, I'll regard "warning" as "opportunity".

Now that I can depend on connectivity (almost) all the time, I can try a few more interesting ways of dividing up applications between client and servers. -- Alex Tweedly http://www.tweedly.net _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
