Mark,

Thanks for the reply!

When I stated that I edited the original, I wasn't clear enough in that I had placed the edited version of "what_new.php" in the custom/override dir but didn't see the query function correctly... I then removed the file from the custom/override dir and edited the original thinking this would work, but it didn't...
I know the custom/override dir is functioning because I have other files that have been modified and are functioning correctly.
Hope this clears up the issue I'm having...
I'll give it another go since I'm feeling fresh!

Thanks again,
Jim
