texte = Ken, I thought of the TCP connect command however, I'm behind a firewall. This is why I am trying to populate a forms input. If I use a forms system then I can *see* both servers (I think) as long as I am working from inside my LAN. I don't think TCPconnect will be able to *see* my Dev machine unless I open up some holes.??? If I can grasp the info from my database into a text field in a form. I can then send that form to my dev machine to replace that database. Or so my limited knoweledge of forms tells me.Kenneth Grome wrote:> What's your goal here?
