Nope - that's cool - it's not easy to explain an app over email. :-D

The slow part is the SECOND part - where the gathering of the sale data,
updating the financial transaction in the DB, and inserting the amount
tendered as a financial transaction in the DB. These last two things -
updating and inserting the amount tendered - occur in ONE database transaction.

All of this is controlled from the client - although the update and inserts
are stored procedures which are called by the client.

Thanks
