John, two things that may assist you.  Regarding previous TechNet postings/answers
(called "threads"), they are archived at http://www.automata.com      Go all the way
to the bottom of their home page and see the link button to IPC Forum Archives, and
follow the text.  You can search by subject line, author, or date, and may find the
answers you need. Sometimes searching body text works too.

The second thing is proper use of the subject line so that your question/answers will
be grouped with the proper threads for future accessibility from the archives.
Anybody who answers your posting will probably not rewrite the subject line. The
result is that some potentially valuable information will never be seen because
searching for "solder paste thickness" will never reveal your posting or the answers.
The correct subject line would have been something like: ASSY: Solder Paste
Application Requirements  OR  Parameters  OR  Thickness  OR   Specifications.   Jack

  REGARDING           OH MY GOD !!!!!!! NOoooooooo.........

I thought that might have got your attention ......

Now my question,

What are people using for Upper and Lower Specification limits on control
charts for Paste height and volume, Fine pitch and standard.?

I remember somebody else had asked this question some time ago, but
unfortunately I've deleted the email already......


Happy Christmas,
John O'Sullivan.
