One organization may have a policy to make updates only on monday to thursday, while another may have a policy to make them only on sunday morning (I do know one company where changes on production servers are only allowed on sunday from 00:00 to 06:00). These are local policies, and they should be implemented locally. FL cannot know about them and I think it is not a good idea for FL to decide for its users when they should update their systems. hp -- _ | Peter J.
