Yeah, I can see your query would run faster but my database is far more complicated than this example. But you're right! I have to look at the structure, indexes, etc, of my database and see if I can make this query look like yours. However, I don't think it can look like yours because it's very dynamic query and I don't want to create different queries for each cases - I'm just modifing parts of the query. Maybe I shouldn't be so lazy and write a dedicated queries for each of the cases (even though it's against the best programming practices). ... No wonder why there's so many database jobs out there =) Thank you again! -- modified at 16:47 Friday 13th April, 2007

Use the WebRequest object. Here is an example, this example though uses POST to send some XML and gets the response as string. play around with this and see what you get. HttpWebRequest wrWebRequest = WebRequest.Create(theUrl) as HttpWebRequest; wrWebRequest.Method = "POST"; wrWebRequest.ContentLength = theXml.Length; wrWebRequest.ContentType = "text/xml"; StreamWriter swRequestWriter = new StreamWriter(wrWebRequest.GetRequestStream()); swRequestWriter.Write(theXml); swRequestWriter.Close(); HttpWebResponse hwrWebResponse = (HttpWebResponse)wrWebRequest.GetResponse(); StreamReader srResponseReader = new StreamReader(hwrWebResponse.GetResponseStream()); responseResult = srResponseReader.ReadToEnd(); srResponseReader.Close(); Hope this helps.

You can write a javascript function that gets called on the client-side onkeydown (not onkeypress) event. Check that if the character pressed is 13 (ENTER) then submit your form. Hope that helps.

I think I can offer a partial answer: logging on to the domain will give you access to the network and any shared devices you have permision to use. Logging on the local computer does isolates you from the domain - no access to domain resource, but, also have local atonomy.
