Shucks. Thanks for the awesome feedback, Tom. :blush: I really appreciate the thoughts.

Shifting gears back to the task at hand, thanks again for the link to the IBM site. I read the first 90 pages in detail and scanned through the next 200 or so last night. Absolutely amazing product. I had no idea that DB2 was that good nor how "carefree" the i Series of systems are. For example, you don't actually have to maintain indexes. WOOOHOOO!!!.

What's really cool is that it's ALL in a single searchable document. I don't have to bounce through a dozen different web pages to do a search for something. MS could learn a bit there.

Thanks again!
