Greetings Anjo and Dave, It does answer the question. Ouch. For one paper, I can use D2W with the session based components to demonstrate the point and test the business logic.
The D2JC route that Dave is suggesting may be a useful solution. The size of this database may be a prohibitive factor. In this case, what I would need the D2JC app to do is literally read information out of the ugly database , organize the data in a pretty way, and copy the data into the pretty database. Does D2JC allow for console type applications? In this case, it would be nice to use it in conjunction with a cluster/ grid. A D2JC lesson would definitely be nice. I hear that Northern Virginia is having such a thing coming up next Tuesday. If we could work the iChat telecom, we could probably work that. In any case, if I get this working it would make one heck of a success story for the WO community. Thank you, Dan Beatty, M.S. CS (B.S.
