Thanks for the help and quick response. I'm just starting to read up on the Apache::ASP documentation objects and features. Hopefully, some of that will go into the global.asa file. I'm creating a web application to assist with Unix/Linux administration. Its running against a PostgreSQL DB and is coming along quite nicely. If it ever gets to a polished enough stage, I'll be glad to submit it to apache-asp.org. Thanks again.
