the method i gave you will do this......if you use the if clause i showed
and work with it for more than a minute you'll see how you can test to see
if you should add an </td><td> to your data, and this will let you make your
columns.....play with it and you'll see......

Neither of these were quite what I was looking for, I was hoping I
could make a table with 3 <td>'s side by side, each having a third of
the list of products (with <br> between them).
Is this possible? If not I will try to adapt one of these methods.
Cheers for your help, Donald
