HOWEVER, I would expect that the new Ace/Perform product(s) would be the logical upgrade for existing ISQL products. My understanding, however flawed, is that the SQL language itself has been moved from the ISQL bundle into the engine bundle. What used to be ISQL probably needs a new name, since the SQL language is elsewhere in the product set. But whatever it is now called, I would expect it to be the logical upgrade for folks holding Ace/Perform licenses. Since you hold an engine license and a tools (Ace/Perform) license, your upgrade would still have all that stuff. Only now the SQL language is "attached" in a different place. I hope that makes sense; it's kinda hard to explain. Regards, ___________________________ O Alan __________________| R.
