Hi Kenneth,

I'm learning all about customising SugarCRM, this is a very easy and great mod. I like how it doesn't edit the core and instead resides in the /custom/ directory. I assume making use of the custom directory makes it update safe?

Also, I added a title to it. Very simple addition to your code. Paste it above your $alphabet_array first line.

echo "<table cellspacing='0' cellpadding='0' border='0' width='100%' class='h3Row'><tr><td nowrap><h3>Jump To Letter</h3></td><td width='100%'><IMG height='1' width='1' src='include/images/blank.gif' alt=''></td></tr></table>";

I'm glad you liked it, yes it is upgrade safe, for the most part. If you load another modification that also uses this file in the custom directory then it would overwrite this file. It's not 100% safe but it is 80% or better. I hope to create a few more of these in the next few weeks.
