    Ahhh... sorry for the misunderstanding.

    The thing is though that all the tables I'm accessing are very small - 
maybe 3 or 4 rows maximum (yes, even TAB) - so it's not a matter of table size 
for me. It might be a strange problem with select'ing data from the Data 
Dictionary ... a "select * from all_users" works fine...

    Anthony just changed jobs - he's also on holidays at the moment. He should 
be back in a week or so...
