Works perfectly. Thank you for the little tidbit of advice about the "POST" method. Very handy indeed. > Now, as for changing the dates, you'll have to use the URLProcess > parameter to insert the date.

Thank you so much for the information on the parameter. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email sponsored by: Free pre-built ASP.NET sites including Data Reports, E-commerce, Portals, and Forums are available now.
