You have a PC on the desktop and it has Windows? Or that your connected to a server at work and there is Windows2003 on it? Getting something for free, we all know that there is never anything for free. A different OS requires a change to somethings if not a large amount of things. Training of staff, testing of apps, consistency for end users or do we retrain all of the staff just to get something for free? What happens when apps don't work as intended? Do you just justify rewriting them so they work in a free environment? I don't think I'm stating any lies in my reply, nor in my initial response. If you have SQL Server installed <ver 2005> you can put up reporting services for no additional charge. They can work off of SQL Data, or other data usable in your SQL environment. You can prep reports and have them batch out before they are requested. you can have them run and forward via email to "special" users that their reports are done and can be viewed now. -- Stephen Russell Sr. Production Systems Programmer Mimeo.com Memphis TN 901.246-0159 --- StripMime Report -- processed MIME parts --- multipart/alternative text/plain (text body -- kept) text/html --- _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[EMAIL PROTECTED] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
