Jay,

I do use &fp###; and &fpVAR;

Here is a sample:

<tr>

 <td width="120" bgcolor="#99CCFF"><font size="2" face="V
   erdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">WR Number</font></td>
 <td width="210" bgcolor="#FFFFCC">&fp001;</td>
                                   ^^^^^^^  Plugs field 1

 <td width="120" bgcolor="#99CCFF">Account ID</td>
 <td width="210" bgcolor="#FFFFCC">&fp177;</td>
                                   ^^^^^^^  Plugs field 177

 <td width="120" bgcolor="#99CCFF">CNEE Name</td>
 <td width="210" bgcolor="#FFFFCC">&fp275;</td>
                                   ^^^^^^^  Plugs field 275

</tr>

Notice the zero padded, this is to simplify things within the
code and worry about three digits at all time.  Of course, this
is not the case if using dummy variables.

In the event that one of these macros is not parsed and replaced,
the browser will strip the page and show NULL or BLANK cells.  In
worse case scenario, you will see the macros as TEXT.  

I do not know HTML to emit erros, XML and/or JavaScripts do, but HTML
itself is very forgiven.
