Hey Susan I am not an expert, there are way to many individuals on this list that totally amaze me with their vast incredible knowledge. I will be honest reading some of their comments really does humble me. I am a straight shooter get the job done and get it done right, no excuses. I spent 2 months (I know many will say I did give it a chance) working with SQL Server Express (and getting it to work and do what I wanted) but I just found there were to many rules and hoops you had to jump through to get things to work properly. I quess I am a kind of VolksWagen programmer not a Ferrari programmer. Give me the tools and let me perform the magic in my head. Great Jawing with you again.
