Thanks to all of you who have replied - got more feedback than I expected and it was very welcome. I'm replying to Steve's message to answer a couple valid questions, and then I'm gonna try to find time to work on another version.
Looks like Mozilla doesn't like the script, and I haven't heard of Amniweb before.

Yes, there is a reason. I've tried a lot of scripts to find one that gives the flexibility of sizing and color, yet without having to "know" scripting. This is the only one I've found so far that does the things I need it to do. I found it at:
http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex1/index.html and it's HV Menu. If you have a recommendation for one that will look like this one, that would be great. I'm on a PC, not Mac, if that makes a difference. And most of the people who use the site will be PC, since the site is for MS Access users.

It was the only way I could make it fit without the two graphics running into each other. And the "logo" is the one on the left, the graphic on right is the name, to give a balanced look. (The logo is an inside joke - Access uses "primary key's", hence the key, and we are always on the lookout for "bugs" - we thought it was a fun logo). We figure that *majority* of users of our site aren't going to be sizing much smaller than 800x, where both graphics are still on the screen, so that we aren't too worried about scrolling to see the name graphic.

I'm slowly learning, and wish I had the time to spend an entire week "cramming" on DWMX, but a few hours a week is all I can manage. Bought it right after it was officially release, and still haven't had time to do anything with it, still using DWUD4.

Thanks,
