Fair enough. I based my comments on the following link: https://partner.microsoft.com/global/40009853
If I misinterpreted the information - or maybe you can get the Action Pack another way - fair enough. I never said the Action Pack was a bad idea. I was just posting that info (maybe I should have just posted the link) to make sure all the facts were available and that nobody went and bought something that wouldn't have any production usage. And yes, Ray did say it was for development usage, but then Rick jumped in asking for something similar but for production use.
