thank you so much...i just implemented your post while you were posting and it WORKS!

hours and hours....i don't mean to sound ungrateful but that is a lot of time on some known error. installing this mod and un installing it on two sites all day...what a wast of time....

just did not know what to search for...tried different things with snippets of the code...and I'm reading through so many mod threads it is hard to keep track of what i know or don't know....

thanks again...

I do stand in awe that any of you take these mod designs on.....i've been at zencart for many years and have learned a lot...but still have to be on my guard about versions of pages used to make them vs my current version etc....lots to consider for a novice coder.
