That app is alive online after several years (was made with VS.net 2002 and .NET1.0) Initial project was just 10000euro including the cleanup of the original VB6 application. Users registered to the web application are 75000, with peaks usually arround 800 simulataneous users (on a machine with dual Zeon CPU and 3GB of memory, arround 3000euro cost at that time, including the OS and SQL Server if I remember well [not very much for a server for so many users]) ---------------- George Birbilis ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Computer & Informatics Engineer Microsoft MVP J# for 2004-2006 Borland "Spirit of Delphi" ++ QuickTime, Delphi, ActiveX, .NET components ++ http://www.kagi.com/birbilis ++ Robotics ++ http://www.mech.upatras.gr/~Robotics http://www.mech.upatras.gr/~robgroup _____ avast!
