I allow my users to use up to the 16 character limit and have not had any problems to date. They do everything from FTP to email. I also here that the 16 character limit can be hacked somehow to make it more, but I just haven't cared enough to try it. Jeremy Buckner ----- Original Message ----- From: "Forrest W.
