Could it not also be that keeping it lends itself to greater flexibility, which, in turn lends itself to easier "adoptability", or ease of use? Point being; if having it means that more people are likely to meet the _prerequisites_, then ppl will be more likely to adopt it. No?

I couldn't help but notice the omission of an answer to the earlier reported issue with MDB2 regarding file reads (attachments). Has anyone yet _conclusively_ determined that the issue no longer exists? --Chris > > Till ///////////////////////////////////////////////////// Service provided by hitOmeter.NET internet messaging! . _______________________________________________ List info: http://lists.roundcube.net/dev/
