I am not sure I understand what you mean. You say you want to use BASE 2 to find the results... but then that you don't need the full-blown BASE 2. Can you clarify? BASE 2 stores it's data in a database already... Do you want to copy this data into a second database? /Nicklas ------------------------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.
