Thanks, I need the silent install so I can get it on a user's computer. I have very few users who could answer the questions for a regular install. Also, I want to set the default passwords and other things so I can use them in my program to automate everything for those users who can't handle it.

I think I did some Screen Shots of when I did my Windows PostgreSQL installation the other year. I had to do some config file changes so it could be seen on the network by other PCs, and some other things. I did not do a Silent Install, but there are some other things you ought to be aware of in the setups that I found of value. Perhaps my ScreenShots would be of help in that regard. Also, I scored an EXCELLENT book named "PostgreSQL For Windows", written by Richard Blum. I purchased an advance copy and had to wait 6 months to get it. It was very much worth the wait. Anyway, all of the other PostgreSQL books I picked up were written with a UNIX/Linux user in mind, with perhaps a slight mention of how to do a Windows installation, kind of... This book nails the Windows aspect of it very nicely. The VFP connectivity is something you will have to dig through. Be sure to get pcAdminIII (free) to help manage the PostgreSQL database. Now that I have a few Linux Servers cooking (Suse Enterprise Server v-10 and Ubuntu 7.10), both with PostgreSQL Server running on them, I am planning to migrate to that OS soon. That said, performance on my Windows Server 2003 machine has been excellent (Dell sc430 Server, P4 dual core 2.8 Ghz, 1Gb RAM, 7200 173Gb UltraWide SCSI). I am likely going to start using the Compaq Linux Server (Ubuntu v-7.10, P4 Dual Core 2.8Ghz, 1.5Gb RAM, 7,200 SATA HDD), just to get a feel for what that is all about. Anyway, I see your personal eMail is [EMAIL PROTECTED] I will send the ScreenShots as an attachment to that target address. If you prefer I send it elsewhere just let me know ([EMAIL PROTECTED]).
