But that wasn't your question.
Once again, what is the purpose of pointing that out??? Look, I don't want to get into some stupid argument here, I'll just concede right now that are much smarter than I am, especially when it comes to software that you have written and the associated technologies. But did you sincerely not understand what my end goal was? Were you genuinely not able to discern what the information I was really looking for was? If you could tell then that is my point. I was not trying to say that you are not knowledgeable, and not even that you weren't helpful. My point is that you seemed more interested in making me look stupid than you were in being helpful. That's all I'm saying. If you really didn't understand the context behind my question and were unable to figure out what I was getting at... no forget it. There's no way that is the case. It was just to obvious what I wanted to know. I'm not going to insult your intelligence by even addressing that possibility. Anyway, thanks for the help, perhaps in the future I will follow the advice of other on the list and find some comparable software with a community that is interested in helping it's users. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
