I'm not sure linking straight to the digital record works as well and that may be your problem. The advice we received from NAA was to use the string as per the examples below Yells http://naa12.naa.gov.au/scripts/ItemDetail.asp?M=0&B=3454680 Where 3454680 is the barcode number. Billings http://naa12.naa.gov.au/scripts/ItemDetail.asp?M=0&B=3082568 Where 3082568 is the barcode number. We just format those as hidden hyperlinks as you are no doubt aware and tell people to 'hit View digital record' once the new window opens up. So far we've not had any problems relayed to us by readers. I'm pretty sure NAA won't mind you linking to their site in the same way, but you could always check if you feel the need. I'll get the name of our contact person for you from a colleague here who set it up for me when he returns from leave soon.

I thought it would be good to incorporate the facility on our Roll of Honour of the AFL Umpires Association. I attempted to copy the link structure but while it worked for a short time eventually I received the "Recordsearch session expired" message (or similar). Are we able to use the facility for our own sites? Great work on the blog. David Flegg AFLUA Mal
