Its bad enough to be stuck having to run/support IIS and MSSQL in any scenario, but letting MSSQL talk to the world just seems like asking for even more trouble. -jon -- + Jon Larsen; Chief Technology Officer, Richweb.com + GnuPG Public Key http://richweb.com/jlarsen.gpg + Richweb.com: Providing Internet-Based Business Solutions since 1995 + Business Telephone: (804) 359.2220 + Jon Larsen Cell Phone: (804) 307.6939
