Thanks for the quick reply.  If I use the same script don't I have 
problems using cgi.params, as on the first visit they don't exist?  Or 
do I use an if..then to choose between two pages (one used pre-posting 
and the other post-posting(!)) As you can tell, I'm not a programmer per 
se, so any examples (or pointers to examples) would be very much 
appreciated.

thanks again
