Hello all. I agree completely. Could be dangerous but the client wants that. I'm taking care on pointing that on the contract. If possible , he wants that the application talks with an NT (VB/6) application....so I'm starting to see how this could be done. Someone mentioned majordomo... yes.. I know the product... something similar in concept.....
Thanks to all for all the comments.
