Thank you Sergey

I think thats what i'll go with then. i would have thought that msde would have some kind of visual admin stuff. normally i wouldn't care, as long as my program is able to do what its supposed to, but since i wanna test different stuff its easer to 'see' the results vissually.

thanks again.
