    What happens if you close the pop-up another way? There are at least 2 that I can think of.

    hi,

    That's a javascript issue.

    Here are some functions that I usually use for things like that:

    function opener_get_element(id) {
    var object = null;
    object= window.opener.document.getElementById(id);
    return object;
    }

    function opener_set_value(id, value){
    if (opener_get_element(id))
    opener_get_element(id).value= value;
    }
    function opener_refresh(formid){
    opener_get_element(formid).submit();
    }

    cheers,
    fober
