Another hokey solution I dreamed up once... I had one user that needed to change things on a regular basis for their list. I di not want the guy to be able to FTP into the lists directory so the best I could offer him was FTP to his normal online storage and put the changed files into a folder called 'list'. In my nightly maintenance I copied any files from there to the actual list directory with a batch file. This way any changes he wished to make had to be in before midnight to go in to effect the next day. Sounds pretty hokey huh? It worked though and he was happy with it. I only copied *.txt files so there was no danger of moving any foreign objects in the list folder. Dusty ----- Original Message ----- From: J. B.
