Thanks for your input and guess what...I just put in some code to pause for 15secs. The profile switches on my normal SQL7.0 Server on NT4.0 Server. But, the same does'nt work on my real production envriroment which is NT4.0 CLUSTER SERVER runnign SQL 7.0. The profiles don't switch in this environment. MOre suggestions?

I have a simple but effective process flow to avoid the "stepping over" effect - thankx!
