Well I'm certainly not from Claris, but I have not had the above mentioned problems with the database module although I use it quite often. In fact I have had very few problems at all with AWGS 1.1 under either system 5.02 or 5.03. It seems to be very robust. It's probably the DAs and Inits. Have you tried inactivating them all and running AWGS without them for a few days? -- Jeff Jeff Hartkopf University of Colorado at Boulder Internet: hartkopf@snoopy.colorado.edu
