Then the engine needs to have some tuning. The major problem I had with migrating was recompiling 4gl apps with 6.0 tools. This may create some headaches, especially when the old code wasn't written properly enough (though worked fine with old engine and tools). Hidden bugs like using some reserved words, duplicate declarations or whatever. -- ======================================================================= Boris Niyazov Ph: 212-854-4094 IT Department Fax: 212-316-2623 Columbia Law School Email: ban5@columbia.edu
