Mike H. The SAP DB I saw was implemented by SAP for a major Telcomm in Canada. There were at least hundreds of tables with no naming conventions that I saw. The data was always out of date or otherwise screwed up. All it took was CF 3.1, Access 97 (1.2 GB), and 2 CF developers to blow it away. All of a sudden our tiny department out performed SAP and PeopleSoft according to the users of the HR system we built (at WAY less cost of course) ;-)
