Hi Alex,
Thanks for all your advice. I do have ArcEditor aswell but still not licensed for some geoproccessing tools. It looks as if for now network analyst doesn't suite my needs. Was trying to find new ways to speed up the process of making access maps; however, with the manuel geoprocessing required it doesn't make sense to do all that work since we have such large data sets. Anyways great help, take care.
