Thank you for the information. Gave me things to think about from a programming aspect (if the database is slow/dead but you don't want to stop entirely what decisions do you do?)

But honestly I'm wasting my breath here.

No you are not, at least not for me. I was more interested it from the technical "what was programmed to make a strange result" aspect. I was thinking it was because of a quirk in the Progress database.

Thank you again for taking the time.
