> Sorry to be a stinker, but an issue like this isn't an IBO topic. You will get lots of help on SQL and engine tricks & workarounds by joining the ib-support list (same server as this one).

Just to expand on that - there are a few more SQL gurus who
help out there, but don't use IBO, so you get even more
conflicting information <g>
