Wouldn't it suffice adding a table (uid, sent) so when user checked the checkbox it will check for a record in that table for the current user, if not there, it will send system email and add a record to that table? That way, you know if the checkbox was checked previously and can decide to display it defaulting to checked, or just hide the checkbox. Henrique > Tnx, > > HnLn > >
