Jason, If you just mean providing separate links to each file in the same post, it can be done easily with html coding in the post like this: DuPont Tractor Color Code Listing PPG Tractor Color Code Listing In order to do that, you need to put the following in your message box exactly as shown below where you want it to show up. You can use copy and paste to avoid actual re-typing. Plus you will want to verify in preview just before final posting. <a href="http://www.myimagehosting.com/pic.php?u=3277DmDDV&i=33785">DuPont Tractor Color Code Listing</a> <a href="http://www.worldpath.net/~thompson/misc/PPG%20Tractor%20Colors.htm">PPG Tractor Color Code Listing</a> You can of course, change the wording that shows up as the link to click on (such as "DuPont Tractor Color Code Listing") above to any wording you like. On the other hand, if you mean providing a single link for both lists, I could, but would prefer not to. The PPG list I put together is from different PPG sources, including a couple of lists you provided to me, plus some additional information from posters here at the forum. The DuPont list comes directly from DuPont and I have not changed anything in it. It was provided to me courtesy of Frank Stalfire, a DuPont factory rep that also posts here occasionally. I don't think that one-way cross-over lists are the same as application lists. I doubt DuPont would appreciate having one of their comprehensive application lists linked to that also included a major competitor's application list appended to it in the same file. I think it best they be kept separate. They are provided as separate links on my web page. I don't consider it much of a burden for those interested in the information to follow separate links. That's a vast improvement to not having any such links at all. While Martin Senour and Sherwin Williams have quite a bit of tractor color code information available to the public on their respective web sites, neither DuPont nor PPG provide such information at their sites - at least not to public visitors. The PPG list of mine is a small (21k) .htm format file that is hosted for free on my ISP's server, along with the basics of my web page. The .htm format is good because it is viewable directly in all web browsers. The free space I get on my ISP's server is very limited at 5mb total. I have most of the photos and larger files hosted for free elsewhere on mulitple servers at Imageshack.us and Myimagehosting.com. That also keeps the bandwidth that my ISP host sees at a minimum. The DuPont list was originally in MSWord .doc format (258k). A lot of people do not have either Word or the free MS .doc reader so I decided to post it in another, common format. The Word file has a lot of rich text in it. Converting it to straight text would lose that formatting and it would get messed up in the process. An .htm version of it would save the formatting but be too large for me to host at my ISP and still have any extra room for growth as a free web page. Imageshack doesn't host .htm or .pdf formats. I found Myimagehosting.com that does host .pdf files for free so I decided to upload it there as a .pdf file at 381k. The Adobe .pdf format is now very common and I think that most people have the free reader that is usually automatically loaded on most new PCs by the manufacturers. That's why the two lists are in different formats on different servers. Rod
