Where are you/they clicking the button? On a Rev app? On a website? On your
website? This is important, you can deal with it ! 

Although I appreciatate the benefits of "LEO" I'm more into the integration
of application environments into the user defined system.

Why reinvent the wheel? We've all got a web browser, so why fight to force
user requirements into a single development environment? Eg. No matter how
you manipulate "tables" in Rev it will never beat Excel.

Chipp and Tuviah, I take my hat/cap off to you for providing a fantastic DLL
which does a great job for certain requirements. As I know you're aware, it
will never beat full browser capabilitiles.

There's a great mix of opportunities out there to achieve true cross
platform and cross product integration...

As I've said before, just think sidewards...
