ya, it doesn't seem to match, as this seems to be repeating quite regularly. interesting that my 'clog' files start at 06B6 and count up. 0207 is way off the charts. a lot of applications are hitting this database, and so far everything seems to be running ok (i found this log msg by accident), but I am now officially very nervous. merlin
