Dawn, Thanks for taking the time to test my 'theory'. Just reinforces that 'anything is possible with R:BASE'!

It works great. Though considering variables are always global, one must be sure variables used in the custom form action of form one (or variables defined in the form itself) do not conflict with form two, and vice versa.
