I would guess that if your ISP won't upgrade a server except in a batch they won't apply patches unless they are an emergency. My guess upgrade means any kind of chages to the server at all. If that is true patches to a previous version are a waste of time for everyone involved. Rick Rick Widmer Internet Marketing Specialists http://www.developersdesk.com
