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.

Thank you
