Hi Mike,

I can't blame Access, as Genbox doesn't use Access <g>, although it does use
the same underlying database engine (Jet). It probably has something to do
with the sequence of steps taken before the problem occurs. If you happen to
discover a way to reproduce this or other "stickiness" problems, let me
know, because then I can track them down in the debugger.

Thanks,

-- Bill
