Thanks Helen and Jason!

Jason, I know you've mentioned multiple times the use of the SQL monitor. This
was my first time to use it and it immediately showed me what the problem was.
There would have been little chance that Helen would have caught the problem (at
least specifically).

Turns out that in the process of trashing my DB with development, I copied my
backup over the one I was using. I had in the meanwhile inactivated a trigger,
but the backup had it activated. That trigger was causing the long Posting
issue.

With SQL Monitor, I saw that this trigger was firing on the first time it poped
up during this operation in question--very neat!

Thanks again,
Chuck
