If, for example, you want to print the whole table out or save it to disk, you couldn't. You could do something that imitated this if you simply copied the tables over on one side but still placed them in the main document as well, but then the problem of keeping the two columns (one in the scrolling frame, the other in the static frame) identical in content would be very difficult, particularly for dynamically generated information. -------------------------------------------------------- [ Jordan Reiter ] [ mailto:jreiter@mail.slc.edu ] [ "You can't just say, 'I don't want to get involved.' ] [ The universe got you involved." --Hal Lipset, P.I. ] --------------------------------------------------------
