Thanks Dave - I just want to mega ditto the point of 'expected' cost here. I think that is a great way to put it. I mean shoot, you have to buy a computer too, and while you can probably find a 300 dollar computer, I'm not sure I'd want to work on it. Our field has costs, just like any other field. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?
