Sarah,

This was extremely helpful.  I followed your instructions and it worked just
great.   BTW, you were the one who was so kind to give me your opinion on
Revolution which convinced me to move forward!    I had to figure out that
you used Radio Buttons and then put them into a group, but then got it to
work.  I also tried it with CheckBoxes and got that to work.   I was also
able to figure it out with OptionBoxes and Pulldown Menus.  I'm saving the
stacks as I work on them for my examples.  I'm trying to go through all the
controls as I do this.

1.  COLUMNS:   I have three elements - Primary, Secondary and Task.   I
already got it to sort on the Primary.  I can then set up a button for the
Secondary aswell. How do I send them items to a nice even scrolling field of
three columns?  In that way, I suppose, I can sort on each column or set up
a sort order. 


2.  INTERNAL BUTTON:  Once a person makes a choice in the Primary field
(which is to establish Priorities using "A","B" and "C")  and it is sent to
a list, I've seen where these Lists have the choice listed, but also access
to an option Menu within the List.    So that if a priority changes, they
can go into this List, hilite the Primary choice and change the ABC to
whatever they want.  In effect, it's an Option Menu within the List.

Thanks for everything, Sarah,

Michael
