| You are welcome. You just gave me some extra motivation to work out some
| things that have been on my to do list anyway.
|
| Before I go any further, here is a better code snippet for you:
|
| </font><font face="Wingdings" color=#a50021 size=3>&#241;</font><font
| face="Trebuchet" color=#a50021 size=3><A HREF="#TOP">Top</A>
|
| I am almost embarrassed about posting that first snippet. I am so bad at
| coding. Oh well, it worked, even though it had a lot of extra code that
| wasn't needed. I should have waited until I had time to test some more.
This
| one is a bit cleaner...and perhaps not the last ;-) Rob and Mike, if you
are
| reading this, you two have to jump in when I am making a fool of myself
and
| offering such butchered code...yikes.
|
| Here is a different version on linking your thumbnails where he gives a
| different version with an example:
| http://msmvps.com/blogs/dbartosik/articles/80553.aspx
|
| And, here is a link to three articles about uploading that might help if
you
| run into a jam:
| http://msmvps.com/blogs/dbartosik/archive/category/1921.aspx
|
| I realize that all of this is a lot to understand, but that's part of the
| fun of it all. And you are always learning new and better ways of doing
| things...look at me for example. Relax... You will be fine.
