[imp] Commas vs. Semi-Colons

[hhoffman@r-u-i.com]

Rich,
   Thanks for making that a little more clear. I'm thinking that as of this 
moment that this is a short term answer until something better comes along. 
Unfortunately, using Exchange is my only recourse as this is what is deemed by 
our IS Director and that's where my authority stops. Nonetheless, I still need 
to make it work the same way Lotus Notes did. Try explaining to your org. 
that "type ahead" doesn't work in a web app and exactly why and I guarantee 
that your hair will turn white and you'll go bald (hehe).
Thanks again,
Harry
