Thanks, Barbara. SET DELETED was exactly what the problem was!


>The only times I've heard of this is when the environment settings in one situation are different from the other. Is the PRG that you're testing this under the same one you compile into the EXE? BTW, the first setting I'm always suspicious of in cases like this is SET DELETED.

But I execute the same statement compiled in an .exe, it takes on the order of 5-6 seconds. Anyone seen this before?
