Anything you can do in asp >that you can't do in php/perl/whatever scripting language? The goal being to allow "developers" who want to use ASP because they are incapable of grasping perl/PHP/etc... to develop or migrate sites to our unix based servers. You are preaching to the choir as we use Perl/PHP to accomplish all our server based programing and scripting. Telling clients however that they need to migrate their code over to Perl/PHP just means we lose them to someone supporting windows/ASP. Dave
