It seems logical that if the phone company can detect the omission of a leading 1 digit and request that you redial the number adding the one, it could also do it for you. Why would anyone enter 10 digits in a given time interval without specifying the area code. We are talking user-surly programming. -djwm p.s. Dis claimer is mine. -- Dennis J. W. Maine
