I have 2 8i databases that I need to upgrade that I have inherited. There is 1 master table that is being snaphot refreshed to the second database. It is done by " refresh fast with primary key". No multiple tables or updating the master. What is the most accurate way to tell if a snapshot refresh is running? thanks. _________________________________________________________________ Stay organized with simple drag and drop from Windows Live Hotmail. http://windowslive.com/Explore/hotmail?ocid=TXT_TAGLM_WL_hotmail_102008
