Stuart, I think your list of qualified participants will be very short, not enough to support an elite forum. I'm not a programmer, don't want to be, perhaps that excludes me as a wannabee. However, I am here to learn how to use what I have more efficiently, not through programming, but through the program's parameters. With all the programs that use part of Crafty's code, your list may be even shorter than you think because they would not qualify as "written from scratch." DHM
