Hi Tom, sorry for a) your problems b) not reading the thread properly GUI3000 has been around for a few years, and as far as I am aware, no-one appears to have suffered your trauma on installation - no consolation for you I know. I obviously did not read the thread properly, as GUI3000 takes an Image database, and transforms it to SQL, not an image schema. I had not thought of such a product. It SHOULD not be that difficult to write. I will have a look and get back to you Apologies again Regards Pete "Tom Emerson" <[log in to unmask]> wrote in message news:a64r6p0vt7@enews1.newsguy.com... > OK, here's a 30 second evaluation: needs work. > > > -----Original Message----- > > From: Pete Vickers > > <plug> > > GUI3000 will do what you want.
