Yes, I know what you mean. Shadowrun (PC to XBox 360) and Final Fantasy XI (PC to Xbox to Xbox 360 to PS2) are the only two games I can think of offhand. Cross-console gaming would be nice as well. Being able to play (for example) Burnout Paradise on my PS3 with players from the Xbox 360. Flynn

Sorry, didn't get the part about folder ownership. This how I would set it up Tables: folders: id int name varchar userid int messages: id int fromid int toid int message varchar(250) messagedate datetime folderid int users: id int name varchar Then when you want to look up all messages from one person (say his id is 1) to another person (id = 2) in a particular folder (say id = 1) you would have a query like this SELECT m.message FROM messages m INNER JOIN folders f ON m.folderid = f.id WHERE m.fromid = 1 AND m.toid = 2 AND f.id = 1;

Maybe it's still too early in the morning, but I don't get why you're blaming the Dreamspark program for the problem you're seeing...
