Jac,

Congratulations, Looks great. I hope it does very well for you.

As far as the artifacts, Were these PNGs under the fields? From Photoshop? If 
so there is a very weird instance where transparencies produce this kind of 
visual effect. I have been able to solve that problem on a Mac. The problem is 
there is something 'legacy' left over in the way photoshop (and some other apps 
as well) saves pngs that only shows up in certain applications and or when 
using certain techniques to display a png with transparency. A lot of people 
mistakenly have been blaming powerpoint/preview/etc. on the internet, but it is 
actually an issue with legacy code used to write out transparencies in pngs.

If this is the case I can box up my workaround (it is a kludge however) and 
send it to you.
