Matt,  I REALLY APPRECIATE YOUR HELP!  Thank you.


If I may ask one more question so you can spell it out for this dope [me].

>From what you are saying below, it sounds like if the CGI writes the 

variable to the object and embed tag, [variable is MemberID]   then if I 

write a Get URL in a button:


http//www.xyz.com/MEMBERID/index.html


this variable will load? And that is all there is to it?  I don't have to 

load the variable?
