THanks... good luck in the future.
>You da' men! (meaning YOU and Craig Berntson)

>I feel indebted to you because you went to much time and effort to help me make my Crystal Reports ODBC to SQL Server Database connection on a VPN connection work, but sadly I did not even get to use your code because I needed to wait and try one more thing before trying your solution.

>The customer sent me a CD this morning of his proprietary software that remote workstations (his employees working from home) use. I installed the workstation software on my machine and voila! It fixed my problem. It supplied the missing link for the failed connection.

>I will never know what it added that I didn't already have, but I am just elated that it works now. I ran a Crystal Report and refreshed the data and it showed me the current data as of today. No more connection errors.

>I really appreciate all your time and effort. I want the world to know how much you and Craig Berntson have helped me over the years in Visual FoxPro and Crystal Reports.
>
>You have gotten through some very challenging software development projects. I could not have done it alone, that's for sure. I think I can handle it from here. I can't wait to knock out these final report snafus and move on.
>
>Take it easy. I will be in touch. Keep up the good work! THANKS SO VERY MUCH! I know you will be rewarded for your helfulness, thoughtfulness, and kindness.
