I didn't express myself very well ;-) I meant... I'll delete the db/* files if I need to recreate the index, which only happens about 3 times a year. I need to recreate at the start of the year because of the number of changes it is easier to do. And it fails 2-3 times a year and needs a total rebuild. -- 'ooroo stinga...(:)-) --------------------------------------------------- Email: st...@wo... o You need only two tools. o ///// A hammer and duct tape.
