Very nice, thank you.

I was wondering if there is a way of sending the program back to 
the form entry page if validation on the input fails in the 
function that is accepting the arguments. In the _Form function 
i'm only able to create the form but no validation can be done 
there and no _Validate automatism seems to exist, or am i 
overseeing something?
