I'm aware of these and chose to ignore them - my library wasn't meant to be general purpose, it was for scenarios where you have control of the LDAP server and can make these things can't happen. In fact my ultimate idea was to upload user-defined model schema to the LDAP server via cn=config. -- James Andrewartha ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.
