Creating a persistent connection is the easy part, if you have 5000 users of diferent kinds like: employes, customers, suppliers and partners querying the same information at diferent levels of detail. You need 3 applications in C, 2 in Delphi, several php scripts and some java applets accessing the same info. What do you think is better: enforce the security on the database or on the application side ? Alessandro Oliveira Nuno Ferreira Cargas Internacionais Ltda. Sao Paulo - SP Brazil
