Thank you. This looks like it might help. The customer is going to call me
late this week. i'm going to forward this to myself at work. Then, i'll
have him e-mail me so I can reply to his message with the info you've
provided.
For in case it comes up, where would one go to learn the HTML coding?
Thanks a bunch.
