Hi Joe,
Yes, I'd be happy to chat with you about this database and how we use it.
Kevin Cunningham has cloned a stripped-down version of the IS Work databases for limited no-support distribution, if you are interested. I'll be at MIT 617-253-7494 quite a bit this Friday if you want to talk.
Please say hello to Lisa Isleb and Mary Beth Harrity if you happen to see them. We met at the March NERCOMP conference in Worcester.
Cheers, Bob
