The bottom line answer is most definitely. I am surprised that someone recommended to Leonard *not* to use NMQUERY in 4.0. I would be interested in why that was recommended. (of course the other interesting question I have is why is CM Query sent as the 'default' and not NM? Hmm?) Larry > > Leonard S.
