trying this now........
although i'm having to do some workarounds with existing dynamic data on userProfile.php, i think i'm slowly making headway with your suggestions and support.
THANK YOU!
once i know whether or not it's going to work, i'll post reply with the "how" and "why".....
once again. thank you for taking the time to point me in the right direction and lend moral support along the way.
i have HOPE!
