Julie,
Thank you so much for response you gave to my performance
problems.
The statistics I sent in the Microsoft newsgroup is an
average of every thing I log for 9 days now. Would you
rather I send you what I collected today? The network may
notbe the issue because I have an identical server with
more memory that returns stuff quicker. I will try the
trace profiler also. I reindex the indexes weekly - but I
will still run dbcc showcontig. Finally, how do you
recompile stored procedures? Thank you.

Jasmine
