Thanks for the reply, I checked the oid_to_type file and non of the oid's
have a "W" to be set; unfortunately I had to trashed my databases because
they were corrupted so I cannot check the fields and change them to FALSE,
which by the way seems like a lot of work. Any other ideas???????
Thanks again.
