Hello,
The good news is that with your help I was able to get past the
authorization step which is a giant step. The bad news is that I now
realize that there is a javascript button that calls a function to do a
few things and submit the form. I doubt I will be able figure this one
out soon but you never know. Any suggestions, anyone?
Thank you,
Vincent A. Primavera
