Steve,
        What are the problems with trying to wave solder 0402s?  Do they
fall off the board or result in insufficient fillets or what?

                 Happy Wed., especially if someone can
           help me... I have a small problem. Does anyone
           know of a manuf. of .022uf and .1 uf caps in the
           0402 package??? O.K., so its not so small a problem,
           especially since the boards are being fabricated
           and assembled this week. They will be used in Class 2
           dedicated service hardware, as oppossed to Class 1
           general products, so I need some good reliability
           types. After you stop laughting, any and all help
           will be appreciated. I really don't want to use the
           0603s on the secondary side when we spin this design
           after prototype build/test/intergration. Thanks again.

        You might try: http://www.minicaps.com  they also make capacitor
arrays
        (something to consider?) One comment, I hope your board is assembled
by
        double-sided reflow...putting 0402's on the bottom and expecting to
wave
        solder them is pretty much a dream...
