That's GOT to be one of the most ridiculous statements I've seen posted here for a LONG time. Mind you, when you see the words "Informix" and "Marketing" together in the senders field, you've got to laugh. Closing the stable door after the horse has bolted. Just how many ex-Informix users, and therefore ex-IBM customers, took part in this survey? Cheers, -- Mark. +----------------------------------------------------------+-----------+ | Mark D.
