The error seems clear enough to me... sqlSave is trying to create the table but it already exists.
Some possible directions you could take: 1) Do your work on a particular instance of the table within a single transaction and rollback at the end. 2) Delete the table before you run sqlSave. 3) Explicitly create the table once and keep it, deleting data before re-using it, and use the append option. 4) Include a column that distinguishes between different blocks of data and keep all of the data you add to it. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jeff Newmiller The ..... .....
