Dawn, Maybe there is a theoretical limit but I've yet to see it reached and don't really know where it is. I've been involved with UD/UV systems with thousand of simultaneous users. Sometimes we had to get creative when there were time constraints for jobs (multi-threading and/or distributed processing) but I've not seen a situation that could not be handle by our beloved multi-valued systems.
