Thanks Craig and Christopher, you have convinced me. In my attempts to make my life easier, I was definitely forgetting about SysAdmins... As this app moves through its various stages, it probably would be best to allow Operations to configure the database connections using methods they are already familiar with. Thanks for the input and you probably saved me some grief as this gets passed on. -Wes --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
