Hi Terry. I just took a look at your screen shots. Looks interesting. I should mention that it appears as though all the embedded links you have below go only to screen 4 when clicked on. I changed each one in my browser address to screen1, screen2, and screen3 which enabled me to view the other screens. I haven't done anything else other than look at them, but I thought I would mention that to you.
