Thanks Kuang, The code for that particular page is at http://bmc.mine.nu/freeaccess/summary.txt It is just a vbscript / asp end user hack really but when you're chasing a moving target like MD/Pracsoft's table schemas I found it the best tool for the job. I use frontpage to create layout tables and position the dynamic stuff on the page. It is deliberately low tech on the client side and largely javascript free because it has to work inside browsers on our heavily locked-down terminal server. Some data (care plans and ocr'd specialist reports) are stored outside the HCN database in an MS Access file, as are linked representations of all of the HCN Tables. Queries can run directly against the HCN database or via the MS Access representation of them (sometimes handy if you want to join a HCN table with one of your own in a query) It's due for a complete rewrite - as you an imagine after 4 years there's a lot of redundant commented out stuff and debugging code that accumulates like cobwebs.
