Yes, that was what I was trying to express in my initial message. A "static" attribute would indicate that the content referred to was known to be unchanging and so a local copy could always be safely relied upon with no need to attempt to contact the server. If I skip the download because the server wasn't available (or the user turned the off-line property on) and the file hasn't already been loaded then the downstream processes will fail with possibly misleading diagnostics. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
