Thanks for all who responded. The DB appears healthy (after doing some checking), but I'm trying to put my fingers on possibilities of severe slow downs that have occurred with the last couple of days.
There were a couple of Server 2003 security updates that may have caused some challenges. I just had a server/network guru in to double check it's heath because I was certain that nothing is wrong with the R:BASE database. I still believe that. Can the -A attribute on the database files be a problem? Jan
