Thanks to all. I am not the SQL person. I showed some feedback, when something clicked. the person remembered that this database was set up as a CLOB type. (I don't know if I explained that well.) WE went to a different environment or part of the database where this CLOB was not there, and it worked. There was a lot of frustration about the loss of time due to this CLOB. Anyway thanks to all of you.
PS This beginners format is great. Does anyone know if there is one for .NET. Like VB.NET, C#.NET. A Place to ask any question that you want. PLease let me know. Bye. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
