Thanks, Dutch!  At work, we are now using Oracle 9i for our administrative
system and I am in love with it... we are soon, possibly in the next week or
2, doing the dreaded upgrade to 10g.  I am glad that's not my job, I'm
*just* a PL/SQL developer with a little bit of Pro*C thrown in the mix.  I
only mention this because I saw it in the list you provided of DBs you have
connected to with CF.

Have a great weekend!
Bud
