About 10 days ago. I am getting ready to do some serious testing on Guido's patch here this weekend. Guido's patch is for updating in-place the password file record when we are updating a single record. Right now we rebuild the entire file. It will be a big help if it works. I'm not sure it addresses the issue of rebuilding the entire file when an account is added or deleted. I have to study the patch more. Even with Guido's welcome work I still think that we have a scalability problem here and I'm considering a total re-write. Thanksgiving vacation is coming up soon :-) Regards, Mark Hittinger Internet Manager WinNET Communications, Inc. bugs@win.net
