Obviously you are miles ahead of me in how you use .NET. I don't have a framework object. But I will "extract" some of your code to apply for my test. And I should look into creating a framework object. Right now, I can't get the concept well in my head. I guess the first thing to learn is how to use the global.aspx.

Thank you very much for your message.
