Re: Two Basic JS Qs

Hi
    Thanks for your reply it has given me something to look at this weekend.

Yes it is as I describe the OS will be windows XP Pro and as such you can

may work!

I'm out tomorrow so I will try what you suggest over the weekend and let you
know how it goes

Thanks for your help
