Agreed...and, since there's not really a problem I'm addressing at this point, sticking with the defaults is my best bet. I was merely curious as to how to get the maximum performance. If I see problems, maybe I'll dig into it a big, but, at this point, there's no reason to mess with the defaults, at least in my scenarios. -Nick -------- This e-mail may contain confidential and privileged material for the sole use of the intended recipient.
