Thanks for the info. I thought maybe I was going nuts here. Both
were working fine, then for a couple of days they got the error. I
thought it funny that I got the same error for two different sites
about the same time, then last night after getting a message from
another user here, that said he had no problems and had just
checked them, I checked them and they both were working again.
Glad to know I wasn't losing my mind.<BG>
Now I need to see if it is me, or if disvr.cjb.net is down. I have
not been able to get on that site for several weeks. There is
anther cjb.net site I have not been able to get on as well. Other
cjb.net sites are working.
