Okay guys thanks for all your help. Since, i'm only in high school the
people i was working for decided this might be a bit high level so they gave
me a new one. Now i have a new one, which is something to do with vb.net to
remote accessing to a mysql database and dumping the reports to a text file,
etc etc. Sorry though to make you guys go through all this. I think the new
one won't be as hard as the RPC one. So let me see how it goes and if i need
anything i always know where to ask ;)
Thanks guys :D
