Grant's out today (my bad scheduling), but thanks for the responses.

I think that some of the experts do forget that it's tough at times, but all caps don't necessarily help. Pushing on volunteers for help isn't the solution. If you're at the end of your rope, you should be calling someone and paying for help. Call MS, call Microsoft Consulting, or a local consulting company. Pressure on those of us doing this for free doesn't help.

There are times when experts don't have the answer you need. We might not be any smarter about the situation than you are and might suggest things that seem silly. Maybe they are, maybe we're reaching for a solution when we're not sure, but we're trying. Keep that in mind.

If it's not good enough, break out the checkbook.
