texte = Erol, Is the goal to have this intermetiate page displayed due to the time it takes to return the results of your search(es)? If so, how long are your searches taking? Could you maybe optimize the searches so they return right away? Of is this just a visual device just so people know something is happening? I have done searches on db's up to 2 million records that are returned right away. I believe many others on the list have done searches on much larger DBs as well.
