About how many seconds are you experiencing. Maybe I need to change a
few of my routines that simply switch the cursor to hourglass to
progress bars.

Also, you'd think there would be a registry entry that would allow you
to set this threshold.

Thanks everyone for all the tips.  I used the "processMessages" approach 1st (did a "brute-force" copy record by record with an application.processmessages after each
post) and it worked.  However, I will look at the other suggestions as well.

I'm also going to see if that will stop the Z-order being screwed up in the IDE.

Thanks.
