The spreadsheet like interface is something like when you use PHPmyAdmin for querying a mySql database only faster and each field is clickable and the whole thing seemlessly updates when you close the spreadsheet window. _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
