Hi Tom, Just completed the Brother's in Arms 1 and 2 - ISA Server & SQL Server, works create! I was wondering how are you creating views or what application are you using? I'm using Excel (Office XP or Office 2003 beta 2) to make a fairly easy query tool with the help of the Excel feature - AutoFilter. It's not realtime monitor but with the Excel's Refresh All icon does the trick. I haven't got into Excel's pivot table wizards or adding Charts to the worksheet but its seems that it's possible. _____ Regards, David V.
