Mike,

thanks and whew! I was/am aware of those issues - just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something. All my SQL calls - both SPT and my tableupdate/revert wrappers are handled through one mid-tier class that deals with the rollback/commit.

I do have a way to set automatic on if needed - but that is exception - not rule - in my framework.

Thanks!
