They're positively horrible. If i could stand it, i'd make the variable names equally atrocious just to prove a point. This 'convention' follows the naming of tables, stored procedures and relationships. They MUST be 4 alpha, followed by 4 numeric characters - if possible, identifying the relationship of subroutines to parent procedures- ex: TMSL0100 = TeleMarketing SaLes, Procedure 0100 with all dependant subroutines in TMSL01xx. If you write a view based on table TMSL0115, the name will be TMSL0115v01 (the next view on that table would be TMSL0115v02)

Ok, same problem though. I'll try updating to msxml3 and see if that fixes anything. (i'm hoping that msxml2 is just fubar'd)

You miss us? :-) The chat room is still up.
Where? irc.uhacc.org doesn't connect anymore and irc.levelextreme.com only has #admin, and the only one there is Chanbot. Am I missing something? ( i feel like a missed an important memo )
