Myron,

Thanks for the reply. Your example does sound like the same thing that I am trying. I also get immediate results, but only with deleted off. With deleted on, I get 7+ seconds turn around. And I do a CLOSE ALL CLEAR ALL, ect... after each test.

I also turn on SYS(3054, 1) and it tells me that the SELECT is using the deleted tag and the other key tags. Will it help if I create a tag on !DELETED()?

Thanks,

Jerryt
