[FX.php List] Newbie Needs Help

[Peter Bates]

Andy,

Yesterday when I replied back saying there was something weird going  
on with my one file but not the other, I was wrong. I wasn't at work  
and I had asked someone else to enter your snippet in the one file.  
Today I gave it a try myself and it works great! Must of been a typo  
yesterday.

Thanks,
Peter
