Mike, That specific behavior is typically observed withe ill-defined views that take time, behind the scenes, to pull data from various tables (as you have stated very eloquently). Actually, you can use SET FEEDBACK ON to visually observe the data gathering process and its progress. Having said that, implementing a combination of a few keys to cancel the query is a great idea. Remember, nothing is impossible! Very Best R:egards, Razzak.
