Andu, I agree, but other requirements are making the NT/Windows2000
decision....it was only a question of a MC - database or a
ASP/ODBC/source choice for this particular setup. The second half of
this project will most likely be a Linux/PHP solution on a separate
machine.

I'm a little confused why you would go through MC to get to MSSQL or
any other source...just go directly from ASP/PHP to the SQL source?

Again, agreed, as my OS/X server has been running flawlessy (except
for the time when I accidently unplugged it) for 9 months now. I'm
not thrilled to be on the MS based system, but this project requires
it.
Of course, the client end is all MC and I'm more than happy with the
integration with MC servers, MC based CGI's as well as the ASP side
of the world.
