Thanks Rick, It's good that you are upfront about your offer of "no Help Available".Let's see if someone else is willing to.. To answer what you asked - it would be an internal tool (for my client) -not for distribution though, team is fairly experienced folks (4 programmers).. I agree that the details are inadequate but this is what i have as if now- requirements will evolve over the time, kind of trying to be pro-active and find any info from those gurus who have gone thru this path and willing to share experiences.. Again I am not asking for help in coding or tech tips or some out of box components - just want to educate myself with other's experiences for similar development efforts.. Thanks - help or no help - replies do help
