Ray,
Thank you for your response. I did read that in the manual, I promise.
That is why I included the sleep function in my example. Shouldn't the
sleep function count as execution time? One thing I didn't metion earlier,
for the sake of simplicity, is that my script is pulling an XML file. After
I get the XML file I parse through it which also takes time too. The
recordset is about 6 thousand records so it does take a while.
