Thanks a lot Christian - I had not noticed the bug because my test server doesn't have any "real" list, and there was only one notebook file :-) I have sent an updated version to all the persons I could remember I sent the dynamic access stuff to, which may or may not be all those I actually sent it to :-) You'll have to DATABASE REFRESH all the lists you submitted to the beta-test package. BTW I found a bug in LSVDBS causing it to forget to close some files when doing a search on a database like LISTS where you have zillions of small files. Thus 'SEARCH BLAH IN LISTS' would cause 1156 files to be opened concurrently, which might or might not result in an error 100 from LSVDBS. This was really TOUGH to diagnose because the error is difficult to reproduce, and it never crashes at the same index record, so I suspected some pointer got overlaid with garbage... I have a fix for this which I sent to a few persons, drop me a line if you want it. Additionally, it speeds up searches on the LISTS database by a factor of two because of the way the AFT's are chained together. It doesn't speed up searches on databases with less than some 100's of physical files. Eric
