Thanks Haider for the information. As I get a chance to look at it I will.

In all fairness to IBM, I must thank you and Toby and IBM for their people.
Your willingness to participate in this and other discussions speaks volumns of greatness here. Even if I do not appreciate the product to the
same degree as others, I appreciate your participation more than anything.

Stay with it, and when DB2 looks like something I'm more familiar with, you'll have won me over.

Tim
