Now that's clever! Unfortunately, the folks using the programs tend to keep 4 or 5 instances of it open on each of their desktops so when they are answering phones, checking email, entering faxes and serving customers at the counter they don't have to keep jumping out of the record they are working on to do something else. That's a mighty clever idea, though. Won't do what I'm looking for, but it's very cool. -- MELVILLE THEATRE ~ Melville Sask ~ www.melvilletheatre.com www.creekfm.com - FIFTY THOUSAND WATTS of POW WOW POWER!
