ho....hoo... u r giving me new ideas for my 'start the day with a smile' routine... well, atleast I prefer to be a bit more moral in my jokes... my PL is not coming today... he's coming tomorrow only it seems.. meanwhile I got help from another guy for the biztalk thing... but there's some new problem... my app is not picking it up from the queue... there's no problem in the absence of BizTalk but once it came into the picture there's something happening.. I checked my code.. it seems to be perfectly fine... I dunno where the hell the problem is... got to get my head cracking on that a bit... but only after lunch... Kicha
