Using 6.5.3 on SuSE 6.4 Create a new table works and the results box shows 'CREATE'. The next query, however, reports that a query is still in progress. Tried the new query button and simply erasing last query entered. Seems the only way to correct this is to disconnect. Upon reconnect I can select the new table. I have been able to execute 'select' and 'drop' queries in succession. Thanks for any clues. Bill Barnes
