Przemek, Thanks a million. The SET CURSOR thing solved probably 90% of this problem, maybe even 95% or 100%... it is hard for me to say, but it is much better now with it off.
BTW, I am wondering if you accept donations. Since is the only place I can seem to reach you, I was wondering if you could email me if you are interested or not. username: smujohnson, email domain: gmail.com If you aren't interested, please let me know as well so I won't bother bugging you anymore.
