Takes a lot of IF statements to equal one MSU. Does not take a heck of a lot of programmer time to equal $13,000.

Most probably do not care. We do. You'd be amazed at the things we do to reduce our MSU requirements. Programmers are a "fixed cost". From what I've been told, if we could reduce our Group Capacity by 1 MSU, we would save $13,000/yr, in "hard" dollars. So we would spend many "soft" dollars to do this. I'd best say no more. -- John McKown Systems Engineer IV IT Administrative Services Group HealthMarkets(r) 9151 Boulevard 26 * N.
