personally, i'd want to weigh that against the full transparency and simplicity of the current solution. i <heart> that i can cd into the PC tree and/or the pool if i need to -- for instance, if the restore tools aren't currently available or convenvient. i have trouble believing that a database solution would be as satisfying, to me. paul =--------------------- paul fox, [EMAIL PROTECTED] (arlington, ma, where it's 27.3 degrees) ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
