Tem,

You can use the SB-600 as a slave flash with the Nikon D40x. In fact it has a "TTL flash control by 420-pixel RGB sensor. i-TTL balanced fill-flash for digital SLR and standard i-TTL fill-flash for digital SLR available when CPU lens is used with
[the] SB-600." You can find more in the camera's specifications. Good luck and happy shooting.

"You can use the SB-600 as a slave flash with the Nikon D40x. ", This means thought that you have a commander flash as a main flash that is attached to your D40x right? as D40x does not have a commander mode for the pop-up flash like the d80

Rage,

When you connect the SB-600, it goes in the hot-shoe on top of the camera. This disables the pop-up flash that comes with the camera.

Thanks Andrew and Rage. Have come to realize that the d40x does not have a commander mode but can have slave units like the sb600 if i attach the su800 as the commander.
thanks to both of you for taking time on my query.....
