Informix will automatically wrap around and re-use serial values which are not in the table. So, as long as you delete rows, they theoretically will eventually be reused. I say theoretically, because most people find that they will be retired before they will have to worry about that! 8-) Tim --- ~ SPEED 1.40 [NR] ~
