I have to agree with Matijn for this reason: If the user hits the [Enter] button at the end of their form data entry, it will trigger the *first* submit button on the page, which may or may not be what you want. Perhaps better to have the user indicate the action they wish via radio button (as Matijn suggested) and then a single submit button. Paul -- Paul M.
