No more than 256000 applications can :>simultaneously use your databases, and no more than 16384000 users :>can have simultaneous access. Aw, SHOOT !!! And I was going to move my home video tape inventory over to DB/2 next weekend. With these chintzy limits, guess I'm out of luck. :-) Regards, Alan Pilcher Happy OS/2 User
