Indeed.. under normal circumstances it wouldn't go down. My issue is that the SQL server is not a critical part of our infrastructure and I don't want it to be (at this point anyway). I'm using it for accounting trend reporting only.. in any event, Nicolas' suggestion was right on and works like a charm. Thanks John - List info/subscribe/unsubscribe?
