KHolm: Thanks for the advice. I'm not that ignorant actually. The environment existed this way before I came aboard. Hence the reason I'm trying to find and lock down things in an orderly fashion with limited tools to work with. My last employer gave me wonderful things to use like MS-SMS, but that's only a pilot here (which I'm doing myself, no help at the moment). In the current economic environment, we sometimes have to make do with little and keep our mouths shut with a happy smile on the front of them. :-)

There are two types of vessels: Funded and Unfunded. ;-)
