I have been working with relational databases for over 2 decades. ;-) That is one reason I went with the book I bought. I just have no experience with Microsoft SQL or any version of SQL. The HTML Goodies stuff looks really good and I will look it over. My first exposure to relational databases was James Wetherbe's book "Systems Analysis and Design: Traditional, Structured, and Advanceed Concepts and Techniques- 2nd Editon" in a systems analysis course at the library school at Drexel university in 1984. Keep the suggestions coming, please.
