@MrCoderFeb 14.2007 — What error is it giving you?

Are you viewing admin.php directly, or is it included from another file?

@JosephschauthorFeb 14.2007 — I really dont know why it was not working before it is now but it seem i have it all wrong as the file in /admin/ is missing all files the header uses eg styles.css and button images. What is a good way to do this then?

Thanks again
