Even the distance learning course require you to use expensive books to get the consumable content from. They require you to answer the questions directly from the book, and you are not allowed to copy those questions on to the web because of copyright law. That is the reason why we need a consumable database, so that the distance learning courses will have a pool of free workbooks, example and questions to reuse. mike ===== James Michael DuPont http://introspector.sourceforge.net/ __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
