My main catalog is running off of MySQL.  The 'access' table for the Admin user
logins can also be a MySQL DB?  That would be swanky ;-)  Although it opens a
slightly bigger door security wise.  Not much bigger I know, so maybe it's not a
concern.

Thanks Ed,  any other suggestions on how to beat this at the source (why is gdbm
failing)?
