Hi Jim,
I went out and purchased the fp 2003 upgrade and attempted to add a sound to
those links. The results were horrible - all 3 sounds would play
simultaneously most of the time. There wasn't much control over what was
happening on that page. So I think I'm going to do some inline framing and
link the wav files to an embedded media player in the target inline frame
page. Thanks again for your help.
Tom
