My thinking is some sort of "advanced" tab, where users can put a path to their own "ruleset" file. I'm not sure I can think of a way to impliment such a feature for non technical users, so my idea was that this adds the ability for technical users without cluttering the GUI for less technical users. Of coures that requires a rulset parsing engine, and a ruleset, and then code to apply that ruleset during the syncing operation. Certainly not something trivial to code. -- Phil Dibowitz Systems Architect and Administrator Enterprise Infrastructure / ISD / USC UCC 174 - 213-821-5427
