I appreciate all the advice and will test out the suggestions, participating in these forums is new to me and they all have different sets of rules and conditions.
If it is of any interest I am doing an internship at one of the Big East universities for my Bachelors degree in Software Application Development. Unfortunately the base of our knowledge at the college I am attending is 3/4 tier development for business applications using Access as the database so they can be stand alone apps. We touched on SQL Server but only enough to create apps that could be either use Access or SQL Server as the database.
The skillsets are the same basically but a lot of what I am attempting to do is all related to file systems, processes and network connections and we never really got into any of that at school so it is all new to me. Unfortunately the person who is managing my internship for .net is also the System Architect and with school getting ready to kick off doesn' have a lot of free time.
So I appreciate all the help and suggestions I receive in this and all the other forums I use. Where would us beginners be without you experts.

Thanks again
