Exactly the intent! Good call ;) I'm writing this app for a Sys-Admin...she will write a script that parses the data into her database. The reason for the .txt file is that the information HAS to be intered by the reps out in the field....if there is no connectiviy (which there isn't most of the time), then the data needs to be saved out to a file and u/l when internet connection is detected. Of course, if there IS connection, then sending the data directly to the server would be ideal...good suggestion. I will check out the Direct FTP, again, thanks. _________________________________________________________________ Unlimited Internet access for only $21.95/month.
