I thought it was pretty common to do that sort of thing. But maybe there's no particular advantage to having the two together anyway. --b. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
