There's that intellectual dishonesty I was talking about. Sure didn't take long for a relevant example. There is no functional difference, in the end, between "install" and "deploy" - HTH! -- ..NET: It's About Trust! http://vfred.mvps.org

I don't care which word or phrase you use because it doesn't change the meaning of my statement. Nitpicking are you? Paul ~~~~ Microsoft MVP (Visual Basic) |
