Not my recommendation though.. I had a scenario where i had to bypass complete Object model and write SQL Query to achieve the result..

Is there a default? I didn't set this site up you see so I'm a little lost. [cid:[email protected]] Regards, Paul Online Developer, ICT CEO Sydney From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Paul Noone Having established that most of the MOSS files I want to edit only exist in the database, I am now making my first foray into this dark world with VS2005. So, my silliest question yet (#3847) is: how do I connect/browse the site structure? Please be gentle. :) Cheers, Paul ________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________ This e-mail is intended for the use of the addressed recipient(s) only and may contain confidential and privileged information.
