Paul M just pointed out to me that you are referring to the ISQL "User Menu" based application, not the straight ISQL menu everybody gets. In hindsight, I see that Max explicitly mentioned user-menu; I simply failed to notice it. My apologies and genuflections of regret. Of course you can have each person start in a different point in the menu structure and sidestep certain menus depending on the way you structured it. -- -- Jake (Realizes, in retrospect, that hindsight has no future) +------------------------------------------------------------+ | The expedient performance of a task with excessive concern | | regarding its duration-to-completion engenders a virtual | | certainty of diminished benefit therefrom. | | -- Benjamin Franklin (but he said it in 3 words) | +------------------------------------------------------------+
