yes, i recall reading that Java was necessary to use OO's database. however, i have no use for that in the foreseeable future. does anyone else know whether Java is needed for LO's database stuff ? so far, it looks as if i shd remove the USE flag, recompile the relevant pkgs & see what happens when i try using them. further comments still very welcome & thanks for those so far. -- ========================,,============================================ SUPPORT ___________//___, Philip Webb ELECTRIC /] [] [] [] [] []| Cities Centre, University of Toronto TRANSIT `-O----------O---' purslowatchassdotutorontodotca
