Bob, Seems to me clear enough. When you are at the limit, it's just a question of one process disappearing to allow another one to take its place. The place to search is the NT system error log. The easy answer would be 'migrate to Unix and use MTS', but perhaps that some NT tuning may help in taking you past the limit you are hitting. But I am totally incompetent on NT and cultivating my incompetence. -- Regards, Stephane Faroult Oriole Ltd -- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.com -- Author: Stephane Faroult INET: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fat City Network Services -- (858) 538-5051 FAX: (858) 538-5051 San Diego, California -- Public Internet access / Mailing Lists -------------------------------------------------------------------- To REMOVE yourself from this mailing list, send an E-Mail message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (note EXACT spelling of 'ListGuru') and in the message BODY, include a line containing: UNSUB ORACLE-L (or the name of mailing list you want to be removed from).
