Hi there

Actually, its the first ive seen the MSDN link, and there is no problem I see it using this method also. Its like all things tech, 101 different solutions to most problems; this is just one of them that works well from other code written, so im going down the service orientated path, a single buisness obj (aka the DLL) and many services that use it (t-sql, vb, vb-script, asp, etc..) from the business apps.

Cheers
