zp The CNC router survived the trip. Now I have to figure out how to make it go. Plug it in...and stand back<g> How is data entered into CBC? Is a computer included with the machine? Answer in 20 words or less..please<g> I received the IDE Dataport with just one cartridge. I have another cartridge and a SCSI setuup (1 frame + 1 cartridge) on backorder. Installing one of the Maxtors.. when pretty smoothly. Every thing fits very snugly.. and I mean very very snugly. The Data port design is very well thought out. I don't know if you have yours installed yet.. the one thing that I had to ponder a bit was replacing the Maxtor jumpers with the jumper cable from Dataport cartridge. But the Dataport site had an Adobe Acrobat doc which explained. The drive was recognized without incident. Have we discussed partitioning these drives for backup yet? I'm thinking one single partition for now at least, formatted NTFS in my case. The volume labels would be BACKUP 1 and BACKUP 2. If, after working with Backup Exec for awhile, a more sophisticated process is presented then more partitioning can be done. I can't figure it out hypothetically... I think by just starting a daily backup routine the right disk organization will become apparent. BTW Where did Spots take you to lunch.... Wendys or Macdonalds<GG> Clarence

>>thanks for lunch You're welcome. My pleasure. >>CNC router survived the trip. Now I have to figure out how to make it go. Naw, that's not the problem. You gotta figure out how to make it pay <g>. >>Cut and paste the subject line or other into a column. Same for the link..or just use the post number. Then a bunch of columns for categories ... I see. In other words, manual labor (a hand job <g>). Yuk. Being allergic to w*rk, I'd look for some way to automate this. Yeah, be sure to carry the post number along if you try it. I support an Excel product, so I'm supposed to know all about it, but I admit I know nothing of the web capabilities (I support the product as infrequently as possible <gg>). If it can poke a URL from VBA, that would be a way to automate at least part of it, I would guess. Sorry there's no way I'm going to have time to look into it seriously in the immediate future, but maybe in a few months.
