Shawn,

Yep, your right.  I wasn't given the complete information about how they
had neglected to update their code.  Thanks for pointing this out.  I'm
kind of wondering if some of those log entries someone else experienced
might be due to the same thing this individual incurred.  I don't work
with forms so I don't have any idea where the "drop-in" updates are
located, but it is an easy fix I have been told.

Lisa
