Peter,

  Thank you so much for your reply. I am unsure at this point as to what I
will do, I have to sit back and sort thru it. I have so much to learn,
certainly isn't like writing with conventional  multiuser programming !!!
  One suggestion hasn't been too bad, and that was on the first page to do a
window open with the parameters I wanted etc. All the remaining pages open
that way w/o changing the coding.But I have concerns about the session
variables etc. I have thought if I opened a window in by using window open
,method, I would lose my session variables.
   I also know that I need to disable the arrow keys etc, but you know they
can still get around it all.
Thank you again, I appericate your help,I'll keep you posted okay ??
