Hi Marc,Thanks for the quick response and excellent explanation.It looks like porting a Mac-based WebCatalog Site to NT will be a major pain unless:1- The NT server is running WebSite, or ... 2- There are no secure pages in the site.Thank goodness for Apple's upcoming Rhapsody, which will eliminate these cross-platform problems once and for all. I sure hope WebCatalog makes to to Rhapsody, because from what I've been reading, it's going to revolutionize cross-platform capabilities for all Mac, Win and Unix boxes that choose to run it ... :)Sincerely, Ken Grome WebDNA Solutions http://www.hui.net/dna/webdna.html Associated Messages, from the most recent to the oldest:
