Thanks Paul - I will look into that as well.
As an update note. I was (because we're a small shop) able to move the entire database to the local workstation and the project works like lightening and has done so for several weeks. We will be moving the database back to the server next week including upgrading to Novell 5 with the appropriate switches recommended. Will keep you all posted.
