Well, Windows Administrator and Unix Root access require a trip through the tier 3 tech support desks blindfolded, naked, and riding a goat. Permission to edit a text file is harder to achieve. Experience has taught me to never allow such if I want my pager to stay silent ;^) We are looking into testing with the pipe though to possibly gather the FileSet from another resource. Good thought though, I had passed over that option earlier. DAve -- Three years now I've asked Google why they don't have a logo change for Memorial Day.

Maybe they forgot who made that choice possible. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
