As far as I could tell we couldn't do that because of the way the software
was made. ADO or whatever proprietary MS thing was in there, which I
couldn't find any PHP support for. I could be wrong, as I don't completely
understand how he has it setup. I'm a linux server only type of guy.
However, I'll take a look at it. Maybe I was incorrect in my research, or
the programmer didn't look fully into the specs for PHP.
Thanks,
