Right now itis probably visiting each record once before moving on, although sortingcan visit records in an apparently random pattern. Is there somenoticeable side-effect you are seeing?Technical Support | ==== eCommerce and Beyond ====Pacific Coast Software | WebCatalog, WebMerchant,11770 Bernardo Plaza Court | SiteEdit Pro, PhotoMaster,San Diego, CA 92128 | Typhoon619/675-1106 Fax: 619/675-0372 | http://www.smithmicro.com/
