Gentlemen,

It could not have been better timing for my website to snag on something. I have a good idea as to when Stefan tried to access it as I found it not working at about the same time. A quick recycle of the application pool fixed it, but by then my phones were already ringing. It works now, but I'm still trying to find what caused a previously stable component to hang. My best guess is an update from MS that somehow affected COM objects. But I digress.

My data is stored as bits to conserve space, but it could just as easily been stored as strings. It's not how it's stored that is the issue. It's that it is searchable.  If you could tell me specifically what you are looking for, I will provide as much detail as you need.

Ok... egg on my face... gave you the wrong address...

The website did go down yesterday, though, and that's what I thought you were referring to. Just goes to show what I know, now doesn't it?
