Thank you John - I look forward to trying this.
>>OK cool. How about this evening we have a YUUGUU web conference and you tell me the clicks I need to do to build the app in 7 minutes? I have Visual Studio 2008, SQL2008 developer, and Silverlight 3 installed (the current development tools). I'll be happy to invite Pertti and some of the other people who are having a hard time with it. How about 9pm your time?

Though a good deal is too strange to be believed, nothing is too strange to have happened.
- Thomas Hardy
Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm-- but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves.
-- T. S. Eliot
Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for lunch.
Liberty is a well-armed sheep contesting the vote.
- Ben Franklin
Pardon him, Theodotus. He is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature.
