I've read the rest of the thread to date and people raise a whole host of valid points. In terms of getting through to management, though, I have a suggestion. Get this book: Pragmatic Project Automation: How to Build, Deploy, and Monitor Java Applications http://www.pragmaticprogrammer.com/starter_kit/auto/index.html Despite the Java theme, the arguments it makes - clearly and concisely - are as relevant for any other environment. Only the tools differ - and many of the tools used for .NET development are based on Java originals. Specifically, the book talks about Ant and CruiseControl (IIRC), and the arguments are as good for NAnt and CruiseControl.NET. Hope this helps, Bevan. ****************************************************************************** "This message (and any files transmitted with it) are confidential and may be legally privileged.
