Thank you for the correction on Win95 - should not be a problem since we do
not have Win95 on anything here anymore.

The reason this has lit a fire again is due to the release of the MS Oracle
Data Provider for .Net. The documentation that I have reports 200% better
response.

Those kind of gains would be worth the conversion in my book. But I have
to find out how much of a gain we would see, estimate the conversion time,
etc.

I've got a lot of work ahead of me, and I wanted some starting ground.

Thanks again!
