Yeah, I know what you mean. Ideas for good responses usually come to fruition afterward.

After a couple days I got it going. I commented to him .. it was a nice design, but a bit short in a couple parts, nice layout etc etc
Then he says .. "you idiot, you built it for us years ago" ... oops :-) I searched my archives and found the code .. couldn't even remember writing it !
