Christian,

>>This also worked. The performance is acceptable "for now". I obviously need to get totally "type A" with my object variables. I don't know if this solution will work for a 25,000 member company yet, but as a work around it is encouraging.

>>Thanks for all your help and PLEASE let me know if you have any more ideas.

Sounds like you might have a way to actually get this thing deployed. Don't know if anything anyone said here really helped. My experience has been that a little forum discussion during a panic install or debug session helps with encouragement, if nothing else. I'm glad we were able to accomplish that much. :-)
