I have 2, their datapumps choke and puke on WinXP Pro OBDC32 driver. Have an access licence coming monday as we have office standard, not pro. Once we import it into access I can do datacrap instead of spreadsheet crap. What I have is several hundred spreadsheets that have tiny pieces of the architecture that is built around 5 thousand plus machines. In a lotus table there is more spreadsheets. I need to build a repository, match serial numbers in the sheet to nodenames that I have to look up manually on a web query and when I get it all assembled, I will know what machine went where and how much load is on. This gives me the ability when an application support guy sticks his head in wanting more hardware I can prove he is fine and needs to use the 3 servers that are hosting his p0rn out of the closet instead of sucking money out of the company.
thanx,
bill
