I suppose now that I'm a little more out of Rant mode, I'll restate it as, "be sure to test and compare your solution vs your problem". :) Yes, the ability to write custom solutions like this is really the beauty of the open source software, and the open source philosophy. Try even having this discussion on an M$ Exchange mailing list. :) I also didn't mean to say or imply that "a professional" would do a better job than "an amateur" at this solution, but simply that the solution itself warrants further consideration.

It always pays to look around, too, and see if someone else has already written something to do what you want or at least something close that you could modify to fit your needs. That's another nice thing about open source. Not everything has to be "created here"(tm) since with the source, you can adjust it to fit your needs. :-)

Cheers,
Tanner (catching up on e-mail after being gone over the weekend)
