Hi We run Progress 9.1d on linux machines. The other day in the 3 text fields of a database record we came across these pieces of text. "7c80252d kernel32.dll" "WaitForSingleObject" "NtReplyWaitReceivePortEx " The data recorded in the fields is added via an internal Progress process, so...

Thanks for the reply Tom, I worked it out in the end. We were under the pump a bit so I was after all the help I could get with this one. Works a treat. Thanks again. regards Ken
