hello I have a few questions: 1. am i right in thinking that using as 2000 and adomd i have to register udf dll on all of my client machines? Is there no way around this? 2. if i use xmla and a cube on a web server, do my client apps need to have udf dlls installed? 3. in xmla can i use xsl natively to generate docs (pdf? svg?) also how would this work on sql server 2005? 4. can i write udf dlls in .net (vs 2005) for as 2000 yet? (i don't think so) thanks in advance, toby
