OK people.... First I want to thank Everyone who posted or sent mail. What a great response! I see I have found a valuable resource. I am certain that many questions will follow. Again, thank you all and I want to let you know that I'm going to tackle this one on my own... with you peoples help of course. I'm going to stick with MySQL and PHP for now. They look like solid choices and I believe they'll do what I want. newbie Chris -- PHP Windows Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
