I see it as the "fulcrum" is a *relatively-fixed* point and that somewhere you just need to have a mutually agreed-upon point not necessarily a fixed absolute point. A fixed absolute point is just one possible subset of mutually agreed-upon points and could certainly be used for a default. The problem of course is how can the client discover/negotiate a mutually agreed-upon point in a way that is not overly complicated. Any ideas out there? :-) Regards, Gerry Reno __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail Plus - Powerful. Affordable. Sign up now. http://mailplus.yahoo.com
