Hi Karl,

have you gotten any feedback on this yet? It seems that Steph and 
Daphne are the logical people to look at this but I am not sure if 
anything has proceeded, I may have missed it. I am not sure that I 
can do this with my internet coonnection from here, although i am 
eager to try. It is wireless but slow and goes down a lot. Do you 
think I can do it?

If so I would need some serious hand-holding as i don't even remember 
how to log on to the database server at this point.

Sorry to be out of it...
