Thanks for the reply. I'm placing an order for Stonefield SDT on Monday. Have you done any work with SQL Server, and if so, what do you recommend on that side? We are preparing this particular project for SQL Server, so we haven't had much experience with what, if any, sort of tools are built into it.
