Leonard, I cannot tell if your 987 is on 4.0 or the 5.0 pull release. I would encourage you to call the HP Response Center and talk to them about ALLBASE/SQL. Assuming that you use it, what version are you currently on? Do you have the full blown product, or a restricted license (because you have the ALLBASE product that comes with IMAGE/SQL)? TurboIMAGE and IMAGE/SQL are transparent, but there are some things to be aware of with ALLBASE/SQL. Best regards, Steve Patrick HP Database Expert Center
