cool! I use the forum to help me learn to troubleshoot and tune. Without the problems, questions and users I'd not have the understanding of this. The articles teach and most of all make me think , that horrible expression "out of the box" sadly springs to mind. I can also draw on the experiences and knowledge of my peers and recognise how big a subject SQL Server has now become - a long way from 6.0 for me.

Thanks very much.
