Hi there dejavu, thanks for the input, if I could disable authentication completely it would help in my situation, I really couldn't ask my users to logon twice. Its a shame as this is a great little script. Will post back if I find a way to do this.

Hi, lovely bit of work this would you be able to tell me if its possible to add this into a website with existing authentication system? Our staff would have already logged in when visiting the site and have the UserName stored in a session. If possible I would like to use that value in the username field and disable authentication on the esoTalk code?

Many thanks
