Sure, if Bob wanted to give me the keys to the SQL box. <g> The HTML stuff is pretty easy to find and deal with. The misfiled threads are another matter, made worse when someone at GNET decided a while back to create a zillion sub-categories.

Yes, that could be done programmatically. If Dave gets tired of doing it by hand, he can wait until the new version is ready and I'll run such a program at that time. No, Dave, no keys. <g> I don't let anyone but me write any potentially-destructive code so only I can be blamed in a catastrophe. And though I'm a decent programmer, I'm prone to errors like forgetting to put a WHERE clause in an UPDATE query. Or setting a script time-out for hours instead of seconds, then looping through a recordset but forgetting to actually move to the next recordset in each iteration. <g> Edit: You have no idea how nice it is for me that the new Admin is also a Geek. Brad knew I was and would occasionally bounce things off of me, but GNET/INSP saw me as a glorified clerk who couldn't possibly know anything about geek stuff, so my protests about proposed changes often fell on deaf ears.
