Not a problem. My boss' big hang up with phpgw was that it didn't sort the
categories properly they were displayed in the address book. I had to do
something. :-)

That's what I get for not using those apps. :-) I suspected that there might be 
a
problem there, but I wasn't sure what to do about it. I'm glad somebody does.

I look forward to it. Have you changed any of the apps to see the new function 
or
are you (or whomever) going to wait until you get the limit problem figured out?

Let me know if you have any questions and thanks for making the fix.
