OK. So use the existing MS SQL server as your reference point. You don't _have_ to put another data store in the mix. I'm definately no SQL expert, but can't SQL views and stored procedures be used to blend tables and provide the proper updating and reference paths/points for the UV and the ISAM DB by themselves? The suggestion of the additional MySQL/MS SQL server was to serve as a live multi-point data store, but now that I think about it you would be able to get the same results with what you have. > Answers to your questions: > a) WCS uses an ISAM db > b) Unix & Windows > > I like your solution to the puzzle Glen. ... clear thinking as always. > > rgds, > -Baker Thanks, I'm glad that you actually understood what I typed.
