Microsoft is working to create another standard protocol and this protocol will give developers (and eventually power users) easy access to data, from any database, over the internet... I do not know why a specific protocol is needed if it will just create another Asynchronous standard like XML or AJAX but I am sure I am missing something. If on the other hand this is a synchronous standard, I would be amazed. Tight binding of the BE and FE is a dead, especially over the unstable internet and it limited band-width... or maybe it is a streaming data format? http://news.cnet.com/8301-30685_3-20000783-264.html Maybe one of you other very bright guys can check further as I am in a client's office and may be pulled away at any time. ;-) Jim
