RE: "I wouldn't have told you that!" I guess maybe I misinterpreted your reply regarding this earlier.
I asked for the "database hierarchy". And you replied "Not to mention illegal to reverse-engineer ...". (see following thread excerpt) I was talking about figuring out the schema and you were probably thinking I was going to disassemble the code. Once again I apologize if I attributed you to saying something you didn't. And yes you did refer the request to Ken, and he sent what he had.
