Chris, Your suggestion is quite good as usual. In my case, I never started over with an empty database so I never had the problem with the accounts. I was aware that the account info was in the database but it didn't occur to me while thinking about this problem. However, I do wonder if the size of the db is really the source of this problem. I don't remember it being discussed before and there are many on the list with huge databases. I would guess that your suggestion about some kind of shutdown action is closer to the point. It might also be a utility app looking at something. S.
