I would expect that if you submitted these two forms to the DHSS: <form> <form-title>Disability Benefit Claim</form-title> ... </form> <form> <form-title>Maternity Benefit Claim</form-title> ... </form> Even if the structure of those forms is identical, the content will allow routing to the correct lump of processing at the back end. Actually given it's the DHSS we're on about you'd probably get two different sets of behaviour from two identical forms - whether you advertise the dispatcher or not :-) Jim -- http://jim.webber.name
