Thanks for the update Bart!

FYI, my system a 2.2ghz p4 (original p4s) with a gig of ram.  not a barnstormer by any means but i like to think no slouch either.   

I'll put a note in my calendar to check back and retry the new build in a month or so.  Like I said the idea is great and I'd love to have a tool to help me write some nice clean SQL.
