Juan The only drawback is that you can't store variable length data and you don't have access to all the flashy bits of OnLine/DS. Many OLAP tools use some kind of ODBC link, so you should have no problems in connecting. However much I love SE (and I do), I would be hard pressed to recommend it as an OLAP server. It's designed to be a workgroup database. OTOH, I've seen some people really push its limits! -- Ciao, Billy Some days it's just not worth chewing through the restraints...
