Hi Len,

I've decided to go with the server side validation option. In my opinion it's easier to do the validation in ASP rather than have to cater in Javascript for the different versions of browsers available. I also notice that Javascript is not used in older browser versions, and because people using the website may be using these olders browsers then my validation code is rendered useless for them. Javascript also makes my head spin but I'm comfortable with the VB style code of ASP. I also think that the performance tradeoff of server vs client validation is more that offset by the fact that I know that the server side validation will (should <s>) always work.

P.S. Good luck in the Cricket !!!

Thanks,
Gavin...
