Walter,

Yes, I also suspected index corruption. Unfortunately, I have no control on it. The table is located on the server and I don't have an access to Data directory on this server. It's no use to ask the owner of the site to try to fix it. He spent too much of his time on this and now he is even not talking with me and refusing all my requests. I called him couple of times to Estonia...

Stupid me! Of course, I can just create a program to delete tag and recreate it and run it. I'll do it later!

Do you think, it would be OK to delete just one tag instead al all?

BTW, I have another idea. The resulting cursor already have all info. Instead of passing Subsc_ID I can pass the full string of info...
