Tom, Glad this isworkig for you. I hare refrained from using alias's because I have found that programmers take it for granted and then smuggle it into production. What happens then even with all the change notice and warnings in the world someone either forgets and then after the alias gets changed/deleted whatever the systems group gets blamed even though notices are sent out yadyadyada the blame finger still gets pointed at "us" and then the phones from vp's start the escalation process to our vp's and then the finger pointing starts and as always we get blamed because we should somehow know they updated production with incorrect information.
It's a no win situation. Ed ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
