Thanks for the suggestion Dan - How will this affect performance? I watch htop while the learners are working and I notice that the 4 processor bars get very busy at times - often all of them are up to the 100% mark - Won't disabling one of the processors put a strain on the cpu? - Keith ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.
