Now it's (inaccurate) ad hominem attacks? Gee, thanks. How about debating the merits of the arguments instead of (inaccurately) attacking the messenger? The merits are considerable. I'm not the only one who recommended a transaction manager in this very same discussion. In my experience users are getting increasingly frustrated with software developers writing (usually substandard) code to replicate existing functions well implemented in popular, standard application environments. Not every problem ought to be solved as a programming exercise. Unless perhaps a software vendor is trying to sell a lifetime of customer dependency on their uniquely implemented code and associated maintenance services. (Aren't ad hominem attacks fun?) Even so, after providing that important context, I directly answered your questions with two candidates for non-transaction manager solution approaches. A simple thank you is optional but would be appropriate in the circumstances, in my view. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Timothy Sipples VCT Architect Executive (Based in Singapore) E-Mail: [email protected] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
