Hi Micha,

Thanks a lot - all good stuff.

PS1. For my branching 'header' line I am just quoting the name of the php I
want to go to and it's working ok for me .... what does this mean?
PS2. Yes I'm sure I am missing a trick using two routines instead of one but I
tried for a while and I couldn't see how to do it in one place... I'll continue
to try. By screen I mean the page that the end user is presented with. There
are effectively 2 pages (it's a multi part form); page one iterates until it
passes validation checks and then page 2 kicks in. When that page is validated,
I update a db with info from both pages.
Regards.
Patrick.
