ralph, This is an existing application that I don't want to spend a lot of time rewriting, but you did give me an idea. On error, I'll just loop over the values passed, set a bunch of hidden form fields, then submit back to the original form. On the original form, I'll test if the user has been sent back, and if so, then set the to: document.frmTerminal.Proceed.disabled=false;
