Hi Inung, Many thanks for the help on this, I have Googled and researched until my eyes were nearly dropping out of my sockets, and then I had the idea of coming to this group in the hope that someone can give a little guidance. There's still errors on the page: http://www.011005.com/2 http://www.011005.com/2.phps I have got rid of the asterisks, and the other part that you refer to, is that referring to a file that doesn't exist please? If, so which file should I put there - is it supposed to be the thank-you page? Any help much appreciated.
