Hi there Kate,
As Ken also pointed out, it now goes beyond plain HTML and into the
logic of your ASP routines; for now, I think we successfully solved the
problem with the HTML result.
Sorry if during this discussion I may have expressed myself not so
clearly...
Sincerely,

yes, that seems to work so that would be one way of doing it, although
it
would make my asp code way more complicated if i have to check for
entries
before using different code for 2, 3, 4 or 5 rows, but i might give it a
go if my other 'fix' doesn't work out....
cheers,
kate
