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.

Thanks, that's exactly what I wanted to know.

I have no intent to do anything illegal!
