Wayne,

Thank you so much. Exactly the info I needed - otherwise, I may have 
had to thrash around for days to figure this out. I had already 
gotten the lowdown on 2 instances of QT and QT load limits, etc., 
from QT support/QT web site - I just didn't know how to hook up the 2 
instances with AB (one or two or not possible??).

Love this community. Thanks again.

Quotetracker 2 and set it to server port 16240.

QT databases in AB separate from each other.
