That's good to hear - I hope it works in reverse! I'm downloading Sybase for OSX now - stupid DirecWAY only lets me get 100MB a day though, so I have to wait until tomorrow to finish the download :(
Thanks for the input guys, looking forward to a 100% Mac development environment :) Joshua Miller Head Programmer / IT Manager Garrison Enterprises Inc. www.garrisonenterprises.net [EMAIL PROTECTED] (704) 569-9044 ext. 254 ************************************************************************ ************* Any views expressed in this message are those of the individual sender, except where the sender states them to be the views of Garrison Enterprises Inc.

However, I've actually been pretty successful using MS SQL Server as a development platform for Sybase (on Solaris) deployment. I did this for an onsite consultation; I copied their existing Sybase database to SQL Server on my laptop, wrote several hundred stored procedures of middling to high complexity - one of which replaced a loop over several hundred queries with a single database interaction, reducing average execution time for that page from 15 seconds to less than 1 second - and they all worked flawlessly on Sybase.
