Good Morning Steven,
Please consider this question resolved. I decided to take some time and look more closely at the directory structure I had in place and how to use the shortcodes properly. I succeeded in getting my requirements to work the way I wanted(after some considerable effort and research). I realise you are busy and not here to teach but I wonder if you could reccommend a good tutorial on the syntax to be used in shortcodes particularly with reference to single and double quotes and how what they do and how to use them. I suspect that this might well be of interest to others using these forums as CONNECTIONS benefits so much from their use.
Once again thanks for the use of your creation and the fantastic support you provide for a product that is so powerful and relatively inexpensive.
Best regards,
Richard M
