Ok, sorry I thought I was starting to understand it a little better,
but now I think I took a step backwards, so if it is ok with you let's
step back and take it a step at a time.
So, my first step is wondering if I really need a manager or not??
I was thinking from your first response to me that you might be
suggesting that I did. Let's start there.
If I understand it correctly the Manager is a way of retrieving
specific information.
thanks
