A point of clarification... This is not always true... for example, with TDP for Domino 1.1, TDP for Exchange 2.2 and TDP for SQL 2.2, expiration is controlled by the TSM Server policy settings. The TDP application does not control expiration. Historically speaking... With TDP for SQL 1.1 and TDP for Exchange 1.1 expiration was controlled by running a "delete" command with the TDP client. That was changed when version 2.2 came out. Thanks, Del ---------------------------------------------------- Del Hoobler IBM Corporation [EMAIL PROTECTED] "Celebrate we will.
