Ideally, I would use Connect Unlimited. Problem for me is the price tag. It's only available as OTC, and a fairly hefty one at that. If it could be folded into the monthly cost of DB2 it would be a no brainer. That particular OTC happens to exceed a "magic number" for this organization that makes approval difficult (long story). -Rob Wunderlich ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
