Explain to him that what he wants is called "support", that support costs $300/hour in 8 hour increments, and that the next mail message constitutes agreement to your support contract, and that you'd love to help him make the right decision. And, you might be surprised, if his needs are real, he may well want to pay for support. Right now, you're handing out free support and he doesn't value it, largely because it is free. -- --- Larry McVoy lm at bitmover.com http://www.bitmover.com/lm
