Date: Wed, 18 Oct 2000 01:11:00 -0000 Message-id: X-SW-Source: 2000-q4/msg00101.html I too have also experienced this frustrating problem and I don't believe it is anything to do with the fact that the xref database is still being (re-)constructed - at least there is no progress bar indication. I quite often end up using the grep tool to find the references - which it does - but in doing so I am left questioning the accuracy of the xref tool. If xref reports no referenced by information then I will try grep, but if it reports some referenced by information am I seeing the complete picture or just part of it?

The first time you run source navigator on a project, these can take some time to construct (potentially hours, for large projects and/or slow machines). There's a progress bar in the bottom right corner of any SN windows while this is going on. After the first time, SN should be faster to start up. -- Bruce Stephens Bruce.Stephens@MessagingDirect.com MessagingDirect(UK) Ltd
