Stan, I have found interesting solution for you.

[Stan Busk]

It would be great if we could change the '-' and '_' behavior as it  
will fix my problem. Queries are now instantaneous as before. When  
you launch the application the window is displayed in less than one  
second with all calculations done. However we have the '-' and '_'  
problem.

I would use Binary Link but right now I am more interested in  
releasing the version as since last december it hasn't been possible,  
I run from problems to problems... Binary link is good but it means I  
have to again postpone release and rewrite a dozen of functions  
(likely more). Using the 10 booleans rather than the status string is  
good as well but it also means modifying a lot of functions, the  
schema, another scheme update, conversion of the DB...etc...

Fixing the '-' and '_' problem right now will allow me to release and  
then start working on new design. Is there a possibility?
