Jeff, There is no form. It is posting information from desktop based software to a page... the page doesn't exist right now... We catch it with a 404 error page.. the software I suspect thinks everythign is swell so the submissions keep coming...
As far as manipulating the structure I haven't a clue. Anyone have any code or simple aid to get the ball rolling...?
