I downloaded a copy of PostNuke over the weekend and I am giving it a serious
look. I think I will use some of the modules, although it was giving me
problems with an ODBC driver... anywho I like it and I thank you for the
suggestion. At the very least I am going to borrow some of the code.
Regards
Russ
Interested in helping me write some of it?
