I am perfectly aware of the fact that it's installed on the server. His workstation however is not the server.

Why would I want to go to all that trouble when a simple URL will provide up to the minute information without anyone needing to license and install another copy of crystal, access, or anything else? Instead of a 2 or 3 step process it's a one step process and the software is already on the workstation.

I must be missing something here. It sounds like setting up a series of lenses and mirrors to see what it's like outside when I can simply look out the window. Received on Fri Mar 28 2003 - 20:01:18 CET
