That is good to hear! I didn't mean to say SQL anywhere in particular had problems -
just that doing any software
install that you haven't done before can be a risk....
We once spend 3 days getting CF to talk to Progress on a Unix box, changing to
different ODBC drivers, and then it
turned out that the driver didn't support transactions in SQL so we still couldn't use
it!
Out of interest was is the licencing cost of SQLA? I have heard that SQL Server is now
$10-20k to install for a
website...
