Hi,

Sybrand Bakker just posted a response to a similar problem just the other day. I can't remember the exact posting date, but if you check through the postings on comp.databases.oracle.server, comp.database.oracle, and comp.databases.oracle.tools, you will find the answer. Sorry I can't remember which group or the date.

HTH. Brian
