Mike Thanks
I am sending you a virtual beer (or your favorite liquid) If I were to come
to Finland I would buy you a real one for your help (to myself as well as
others)!

I missed the part about only on SQL if on 2003 web edition! This is the
second beating I have taken because of the Web Editions limitations. (no
Certificate Server) Live and learn!

I do have SQL 2000 running on a separate server. I was trying to install
everything locally on the webserver as I was contemplating moving everything
from the computer with SQL and MS CRM to a more powerful box. I figured that
it would be less pain to have WSS all contained in the webserver. but If it
can't be done on web edition....

I had tried briefly to install WSS to the SQL server and got a permissions
problem when I tried to connect to the DB. That is a separate issue that I
have not really given a beating yet. I do believe that I can work this one
out. (I may have to ask more questions but I hope not)

Thanks again!
Mark
