Thanks Jim, I will look into the UseTransactions property on the queries. That's something I hadn't thought of doing. Sounds like there will be a performance increase involved? Nothing has changed on the machine that I am aware of. No work has been done on it recently. It's a computer that is used mainly for printing of bills and this once weekly procedure. It isn't someones desktop machine, and no one but myself and the two people who handle the bills and weekly process have access to it. I've re-started the process on a third machine, this time on a vacationing managers desk, and it seems to be running much faster. Its still to be seen if it will crash or not. Thanks for the help.
