But did you check if the file size is at 4Gig? This will cause strange things to happen, mysql does not gice a nice error for this condition. If the table was not created with MAX_ROWS option = to some real large number like 500000000000, then you could be running into a problem with the size of the MYD or MYI file. You can use the ALTER statement to add this option to the table. Hope this helps, Ken ----- Original Message ----- From: "Bill Hess" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Keith C.
