It was DAL in >7.0] Easy Access is not in a minimal install, at least not in the one I built (needed a floppy). All it gave me was what I needed. As for why it would go in a full install--that's probably to prevent somebody who needs it installing their system & then finding that they have to struggle to install Easy Access. It's much easier for you to trash it than for somebody who needs it to install it. -- /============================================================================\ | Francis Stracke | My opinions are my own.
