On my localhost (My Work Station) it takes 2 seconds to run the same search on the same Table... And on the work place Server it takes 30+ seconds... I think I have figured out the problem, it should be to do with the fact that I am connecting to a Table on the Network that is also being used by another Application (1st Place 95)... And at current 8 people are using this Application and constantly use it during working hours... I'll try the search at night and see if there is a difference... Thanks for the response... > If so then I agree.

I should try and run it as a Script and set a timer... Thanks again though... Kondwani -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
