P,
Thanks for that......
#1 - I have the 2 years MS-SQL wise.....
#2 - Seems to be the go though......
A few more questions.....
a) How many user licence does one get with IB included with D5Ent??
b) If IB was to run on NT4 WKS (Lets just say that is a requirement) can
someone tell me the max number of concurrent remote users that NT WKS
accepts??
