So, I guess I'm moving. Funny thing though, as soon as I agreed on this one a better opportunity arose. Herm, I guess I'll have to see about that one. Only thing that sucks is I had to sell my Mac laptop. Some may say that's good; some may say that's bad. Who knows. Paul Watson wrote: So they could not use SEQL but they could use SQL? That's my understanding of it. Crazy, but hey, it at least save us from typing an extra letter. :) Paul Watson wrote: Everybody just wants to be naked and famous, Paul. LOL!

                                  Sequel or S-Q-L, depending on who you ask. If you're talking about SQL Server, then "Sequel." If you're talking about MySQL, then "My S-Q-L." Jon Sagara When I want something, I just go out and buy it. That makes me a go-getter. -- My sister
