Hi Rob,


Sorry to only reply to you now, but things have been pretty hectic over here!
To give
you an idea, it is now 04h35 in the morning and I am still busy (work,
replying to
email, research,etc.) It has been like this for the past few days, where I
have to be
up and about at 06h30 at the latest. Tomorrow I will only have to be at a
customer at
08h30, so I will at least get a bit of sleep.

I am seriously starting to believe in re-incanation : I must have done
somethong
horrendous in my previous life to come back as an I.T. person :):):)

I have done some further investigation regarding the customer's situation and
the
picture is somewhat different to what was originally presented to me. Once all
the
details are known and PROPERLY stated, I will let you and the group know.

It seems a typical case of : machine fine, capacity planning wrong!

The infromation received re DDM vs DataPropagator is spot-on and much
appreciated.

Cheers.

Jan Patrick Megannon.
