Hi Tim, Sorry, it took me so long to reply. I fixed my problem now. I went with your first option - modified SubmitServlet to skip that initial questions screen. I also had to make changes in edit-metadata.jsp (removed "Previous" button on step 1 screen) and progressbar.jsp( removed link to initial questions screen). Thank you very much for your help, Inna
