Hi Luuk:

    Your suggested  change *WORKED* !    !

    But, my C:\eml\forms\scripts was *empty*.  (Apologies to Stefan)

    So, I copied all of c:\scripts\ to c:\eml\forms\scripts\ and then made 
the change to remove the leading '/', and it *worked*.

Question: WHY does FF work in this fashion when the other browsers don't 
need the 'slash' removed ??  and what is the path it searche when run 
locally. I would really like to know this ?

    and what will happen when I move it to/from the actual network server. I 
suppose it will fail unless I re-insert the 'slash' again . I'll have to 
check it out.

Thank you and Stefan for your help !
