Steve, thanks for this.

I'm afraid, though, I've been unsuccessful with my first try at this. Still
getting an error when you hit 'SUBMIT' (screen that appears says 'FrontPage
Error').

I may have to play with my settings some more. Unfortunately, I won't have
time until this weekend. One way or another, though, I will conquer the
problem this weekend.

Thanks everyone for your help with this!
