Yes, its an Access database and ASP.  And yes, I consider using an HTML

interface at least once a day, as I'm tearing clumps of my hair out

trying to figure out actionscript's little quirks.  But the challenge

(to me) was to see what I could do with Flash and ASP, and parts of it

obviously remain a challenge, so I'm keeping it in Flash for now. (The

HTML button was my one concession--so much easier to make links and

printable copy.)  Maybe when I have enough free moments in a row (when

I'm 97), I'll make a tutorial out of it, if there's anyone left in the

world who doesn't know how to pass variables from Flash by then!  And

about the popularity, though it's really gratifying to see people using

it, it's not really mine to be popularizing--all the usefulness comes

from people on the list after all.  (Noble, eh?  Guess I just don't want

any lawsuits from erroneous info in the database!)  Thanks for the

query.


Regards,

Helen
