texte = Dave,Thanks for the info. I don't think this will be much of an issue since default.tpl will not be loaded without the other args. The thing that I am thinking might be a problem is that the navigator bar on the left which is built from a .db search has to know that [PNum]=1 for the links off it. I guess I could just code that into the search and not make that piece dynamic.
