Why is VPHOT set up so that to access it I need to "choose" it twice?

1st I selesct VPHOT from the DATA pulldown list

2nd I click a button to log in to VPHOT

I would have thought that selecting it from the pulldown menu would be sufficient.

Just the circumstance?

Peter:

I think it is simply due to how the links were set up in the tabs and where they point? VPhot is a member only tool so it had a need to confirm membership by previous log-in.

After years of using it, I just never even think about the extra click anymore! IMHO, it is pretty trivial but I can see your point.

When the new web page gets deployed perhaps we may think about it?

Ken,

Ken,

Thanks for the explanation. I totally agree that its trivial. Just a new set of eyes seeing it.

In my past professional life I had to notice things like that. Its tough to unlearn!
