The reason I believe that I was prompted to look into the other alternative is that there would be no suitable files to act as companion files during the installation. I know version lying isn't the recommended method, but I trust my superiors understand the consequences and have valid reasons for making these decisions. Anyways, back to the topic. What would be required to hack the Binder code? Sorry if this seems like an obvious question, but I've never come across this before. I'm in the middle of my first coop/internship (there's always an excuse), so I appreciate the patience everyone has shown me. Could you give me a nudge in the right direction. Thanks Brett and Rob for taking the time to respond. I appreciate your inputs immensely. -Matt Anderson ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
