Michael,

Thanks for the great info, it was quite helpful.

I've got my hands full learning NT server admin, upgrading from v7 to v8i dba, upgrading my Forms5/etc skills to Developer6i and learning the middle tier apps/web server "architecture", so I'm wondering if I can just use Developer to "manually" do the same thing as you are doing instead of having to learn Designer? (I'm pretty sure I can get a copy of Designer since it is probably covered under an existing educational site license, so money for a license is not an issue, just time and training costs/stress.)

regards,
ep
