Another option is to pass the information in the extension. At times I have an extension like
_[s][o][m][e]-[e][x][a][m][p][l][e]. And call it like some-example:info1:info2 and use cut to extract the info1 and info2 values. Not real pretty but as this is computer generated calls it gets the job done. -- Jim Dickenson mailto:[email protected] CfMC http://www.cfmc.com/ On Apr 8, 2011, at 8:57 AM, Naomi Rosenberg wrote: > Thanks.
