Paul, There is a distinct possibility that I may have to build a new front-end system for my newspaper within the next few months. I would be interested in talking to you concerning how you have your system set up, what other software you are using, how you set up your directories, etc. If you can spare me the time leave me a message here and I'll either call you or I can give you our 800 number so you can call me. I'm sure that what I want to do can be done, it's just a matter of getting the right pieces. I am especially curious as to how you handle classified. Thanks ^John^
