Thanks Attaboy! By the way, this version is based on ASP.NET, not ASP.

Sam,
Thanks.
I think I'll not gamble with my production server. Rather, I'll wait just a bit and get a test bed.
The real goal here was to see if I can handle minor code mods on your ASP stuff. I do not need to set up a production forum until I purchase the real deal, (like one with support).

I have been watching the Cakewalk.com forum for years. That is where I learned about ASPPlayground.

Nice job, Sam. "Attaboy."

as far as I know, I don't think it will affect the 2000 databases. However, I am not 100% sure, so don't take my words for it. I recommend that you install the beta on a local test machine, and not on the production server.

See this article and judge for yourself.

My current web server has SQL 2000 Enterprise installed on it, with several production databases. Will SQL 2005 Express install along side of this, or will it cause issues with my current stuff?

Searching MS yields no info in this direction.
Seems best to ask before I do something I will regret.
Thanks in advance, to whomever answers.
