The term healthcheck is what has been presented to me. This came up yesterday so I am starting to look into it. I have java WS for my data access 95% of the time and I maintain SQL Server meta data and working space as needed. Probably need to make a client but was hoping that an additional test would do it. Most of my stuff is iterative batch work or poor mans work flow. -- Stephen Russell Sr. Production Systems Programmer CIMSgts 901.246-0159 cell
