Dennis:
I DO have my reputation to consider. Cantankerous is probably the nicest
thing anyone's ever said about me.
I actually did find the problem. One of the tables was recently re-loaded (via some Access piece-of-junk BEHIND the dba's back!), and the normaly process that analyzes tables missed this one. So the table had no statistics.
I've learned some valuable lessons. I'm going to place Occum's Razor
above
my screen in BIG LETTERS.
Thanks everyone for your replies.
Barb
(still cantankerous as ever)
