>I wasn't aware of a save method???!!! I'm looking at the latest ADO doc and I see no mention of it, of course I'm still on my first cup of coffee. Please point me to some info on this. It might provide a solution. I have no problems writing a parser in Vc or assembly if the end result is faster conversion.

It's only in ADO 2.1 - you can get that with the IE 5 installation. Save and
Load are new methods. Save also exports to XML although the XML format sucks
(All attributes no element data).

Actually, Save and Load were part of ADO 2.0, but the XML persistence is
new.

>At least a client can make calls to multiple classes as long as each class resides in a seperate file. This does allow for grouping of like functions. I really like having the ability to do server side processing via client requests without issuing a http get or post (or writing java applets). This fills a void with DHTML especially dealing with data validation issues.

Well, no. You can't group anything since you can not call a class in another
module. That's totally brain-dead, but I suppose it makes sense - a script
has no context beyond a single script page.
