Isaac:
It seems to be working better now -- I don't see it locking up, but there 
is still a perceived problem.
On a local Front/Back system, the previews come up almost immediately (less 
than a second). However, on a remote frontend, the preview takes over 4 
seconds to start, and during this time any other keypresses are ignored. 
This makes it rather difficult to scan thru the entries. Can this be 
speeded up? If not, how about allowing the processing of keypresses during 
the dead time, so the user could scroll thru the list without having to 
wait at each entry for the preview to start.

Thanks,
sjf


Well, I take it back -- It seems to be locking up the SECOND time the 
"watch recording" screen is entered. The first entry into the screen is as 
described above. I don't know if it ALWAYS locks the second time, and never 
the first time, but it has done this consistently now in 2 out of 2 tries.
