So I use the full path name. This is not a hot link to reset the data base. It is code that is written in so that when ever anyone submits a change or delete it automatically does this everytime. I have never noticed any slow down to the system when doing this.It is my understanding that adds are both written to Ram and to the hardrive so you don't need this feature when doing that function.Hope this helps.=============================================== Gary Richter PanaVise Products, Inc. 7540 Colbert Dr. Reno, Nevada 89511 Ph: 702.850.2900 Fx: 702.850.2929 Email: grichter@panavise.com http://www.panavise.com ===============================================
