dan,

i took a day off to re-read 'pros talk' again. where on internet can i thank those authors again (...i know df's web site). it seems my partner used a lot of sql's and assumed the database was open. programmatically adding that command (just to make sure) before he sql-created solved the problem. *sigh*

thanks a lot,
