yes because the programming you use is still 100% Revolution. Hopefully the Rev server product will be set free soon.

My words are inadequate - you should consider actually taking it out for a spin. Chipp, it takes very little time to download and install it. Just create a new subdomain at On-Rev and put all the decompressed zip file in there.
