I had to leave early so I didn't see everyone for extended time. I left out Katie Granju as well for some reason, and couldn't remember ToaAW's name....(cringe). I'll see what I can do to make amends...:) Doug, sometime you and I will have to discuss ColdFusion and how I can alleviate the dreadful deficiency I have in database coding....
