Thanks Harry,
Your advice has fixed the problem. I don't know if it was the older batch
process or or the multiple versions (or some combination of the two.) I
removed all of the extraneous versions (and am now running only 2012.0.0_beta1
built by Harry van der Wolf) and all is fine. I did not have the parallel
jobs option checked. So now things are running smoothly.
Thanks again,
John
