Hello Jim, I'm sorry my post last night was so long ... however, I really wanted to address your post. I forgot to add one thing though ... and it's been bothering me all day. You stated: > It has a great way to embed any Windows app into a web page for > Instant access across the Web via an active X control.

I guess this is fine if a company is fully willing to commit only to the folks in Redmond. No NCs, no UNIX, no Macs, etc. > Think of it - Take any existing windows app - any - and it is > accessable across the Web in minutes with no coding changes.

Well ... nothing but your browser and a Windows machine! All of this is ok in a world of only Windows. No alternatives ... ActiveX is a Windows dependant component ... Scott C. Lemon
