I have a full text cataolog that was populating when I left work.  Had
been running for a couple of hours.  I will continue to explore this
option tommorrow.  I will have to look into verity more.  I know of
that but have never used it, except as part of the old Allaire Forums
that I once used.

Thanks.

The critical ingredient is getting off your butt and doing
something. It's as simple as that. A lot of people have ideas,
but there are few who decide to do something about them now.
Not tomorrow. Not next week. But today. The true entrepreneur
is a doer.
